Online support options
Using CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online
Dominique commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what is already working in your life; it is well suited to goal-setting and coping with transitions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Dominique works with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made, combining tools when that helps move things forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can fit short check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around work, school, and family life.
