In sessions she helps clients examine thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of goals.

The aim is to move from feeling stuck toward small, manageable changes.

Client-centered work focuses on what the person wants to address and uses reflective listening to clarify goals. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to try between meetings. DBT contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness which can be practiced in everyday situations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominique will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest what to try first. Together you can adjust methods over time based on what helps most, mixing conversational work with skill practice or EMDR-informed steps when trauma memories are involved.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills between meetings in the settings where they actually live and interact, which can help translate what is learned in sessions into real life.
