About Dominique
Dominique Caesar is an AASW social worker who offers practical, person-centred support over telehealth. They use a grounded and warm style that values lived experience and neurodiversity. Dominique identifies as trans, autistic and queer and brings that perspective into their work.
They focus on helping people who are navigating trauma, depression, ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue and struggles with self-esteem. Dominique also supports people with questions about sexuality, gender dysphoria, neurodivergence and non‑monogamous or kink-informed relationships.
How Dominique works
Sessions aim to be pragmatic and respectful of each person’s values. Dominique has eight years of experience across community, clinical and systemic spaces. Their background includes advocacy for tenants, supporting neurodivergent young people to build peer networks, and working with National Disability Insurance Scheme participants on choice and control.
They have also mentored emerging social workers and peer workers. In conversations Dominique focuses on problem‑solving, self‑understanding and practical strategies to manage burnout, distress and system navigation. They avoid pathologising language and prefer collaborative planning that aligns with what matters to the individual.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Dominique aims to create accessible, neuroaffirming support that helps people build skills, assert their needs, and live with more authenticity.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Dominique draws on evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and affirming identity. One approach emphasises problem‑solving and skills building to break down overwhelming issues into manageable steps; this suits people dealing with burnout, executive functioning challenges and everyday stressors. Another approach centres trauma‑informed practice which helps people process experiences of abuse or post‑traumatic stress while keeping pace and pacing decided by the person. Both methods aim to reduce distress and build tools people can use between sessions.Finding the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. Dominique discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses. They work with clients to try things practically and check in about what is useful, refining the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face‑to‑face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and short check‑ins or written messages suit times when a quick update or practical coaching is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue support across locations.
