Background and approach
Additional focuses listed include issues like abandonment, codependency, blended family concerns, and forgiveness. Dominique uses a blend of familiar approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered and narrative ideas to follow a client's priorities and to reframe difficult stories.
Mindfulness practices are used to help people regulate emotions and stay present during stressful moments. Her training and clinical years have included work in art therapy and counseling settings across different communities. That experience informs a flexible style that favors simple, doable strategies rather than jargon.
Dominique invites people who feel stuck to try small changes and notice what shifts. Sessions are offered in English and Dominique accepts international clients. She aims to create an atmosphere where people can name their goals, test new ways of coping, and track progress over time.
If someone wants guidance on next steps, she supports setting realistic first actions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on your goals and priorities, with the therapist following your lead and offering support as you decide what matters most. This approach helps when you want practical, personal direction rather than a scripted plan.EMDR involves processing distressing memories through guided attention and bilateral stimulation while you describe the memory and its meaning. It is often used for trauma-related symptoms and for experiences that continue to cause distress in daily life.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage strong emotions and notice patterns of thinking. These skills can reduce reactivity and make it easier to try new behaviors during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dominique will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and interactive exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and text messaging is handy for short updates and ongoing encouragement between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different time zones.
