About Dominique
Dominique Watkins is a licensed clinical social worker who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She brings eight years of experience and a calm, supportive presence to conversations about painful or confusing life moments. Dominique writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the start.
She focuses on problems that show up in day-to-day life - relationship strain, family conflict, grief, low self esteem, parenting challenges, and coping with big changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people managing attention differences such as ADHD. Sessions typically look at what is happening now and what small steps might help move things forward. Dominique favors approaches that are goal-oriented and practical.
She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build clearer action plans. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to highlight strengths and set short-term goals that create momentum. Her style is collaborative.
Dominique treats the person in front of her as the expert on their story and works together to choose steps that fit each person’s life. She aims for simple tools that can be used between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build confidence.
Dominique holds a Master of Social Work and is licensed as an LMSW and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan and Virginia. She offers sessions in English and provides online formats that fit varied schedules.
Approach-driven online care with practical tools
Dominique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and short-term goals, helping people identify what is already working and build simple, achievable steps toward their aims.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dominique will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then choose or blend methods that match those goals. The process is collaborative and focused on concrete, realistic changes the person can try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls work well when face-to-face interaction helps build rapport. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent exchanges that can slot into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible while working toward steady progress.
