About Dominique
Dominique Pozo is a counselor who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She is licensed as an LPCC and an LMHC and brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. Dominique aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Her practice focuses on practical support. She listens for strengths people already have and helps them apply those strengths to current problems.
Background and approach
Conversations cover concrete issues like communication breakdowns, coping with loss, eating concerns, substance use, and parenting stress. Dominique integrates several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person's pace and priorities.
She also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and rewrite painful stories about themselves. For clients with traumatic memories, Dominique uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional hold. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring relationship patterns and long-standing family issues.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Dominique supports people as they try new ways of handling feelings, boundaries, and choices. She guides practical steps for change while encouraging self-compassion and steady progress.
How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, listening closely, and building goals together; online sessions let that collaboration continue through conversation, chat, or text. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories by using guided bilateral stimulation and structured processing, and it can be adapted to video or phone formats with clear pacing and support.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease intense feelings and increase present-moment awareness; these exercises translate well to remote formats and can be practiced between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and Dominique will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is made together and revisited as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and life in Hawaii or for international clients.
