Online support options
How Dominique's methods translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people name their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches simple, actionable skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dominique works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and will check in regularly to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or situations with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and keep work moving forward while practicing new skills.
