About Gerri
Gerri Dominguez is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression. She works with concerns like grief, intimacy problems, sleep trouble, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. Gerri emphasizes practical support and steady presence during hard times.
She draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
Sessions can focus on managing difficult feelings, learning new ways to respond to triggers, or building skills to handle daily problems. Gerri describes her role as a passenger alongside the client who is driving the work forward. Gerri explains things plainly and aims to make sessions feel direct and useful.
She acknowledges that therapy can sometimes be uncomfortable and stays alongside clients through those moments. Her style is steady and encouraging, with an emphasis on small, achievable changes. Her experience includes work in individual and group settings and a range of concerns such as domestic violence, addiction, and trauma and abuse.
Gerri has six years of counseling experience and practices in Texas as an LPC - licensed professional counselor. She welcomes conversations that begin with a single step - talking through what feels urgent and deciding the next best move. Many people find that having a consistent listener who also offers practical tools helps them gain confidence and feel less overwhelmed.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by emphasizing meaningful steps over trying to eliminate every unwanted feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and obsessive thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Gerri will work collaboratively to identify what fits best based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She may suggest trying one method and adjusting over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging make shorter check-ins and flexible scheduling easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity with a single licensed professional.
