Dominique is licensed in Virginia and Michigan as an LMSW and LCSW. That state-based licensing guides how she practices and where she meets with clients. She speaks English and draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to structure work in session.

Starting therapy with Dominique involves a step-by-step matching and scheduling process. She supports people who want practical tools and clear next steps while they work through lasting effects of trauma, stress, or life changes.

How Dominique’s approaches translate to online work

Dominique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide practical online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety, depression, and stress. It gives clear exercises and steps that people can try between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and small, achievable goals. It helps people clarify what is working now and build more of those steps into daily life, which can be useful for relationship strain, parenting challenges, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominique will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made and invites feedback so sessions remain useful.
