About Dominique
Dominique Harwell is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and problems with motivation. Dominique also supports people dealing with trauma, eating concerns, ADHD, and issues related to identity and intimacy.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Dominique uses conversation to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She draws on client-centered methods to listen closely, and on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses.
Dominique also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach coping skills for strong emotions. For trauma-related reactions she may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing techniques alongside other approaches. She brings an existential perspective when people are wrestling with meaning, direction, or emptiness.
In sessions she focuses on concrete goals like improving relationships, managing anxiety, or creating better routines around work and study. She will help people build skills for communication, boundary-setting, and handling conflict. Practical steps and short-term strategies are common parts of her work.
People often seek Dominique when they feel stuck after life transitions - graduating, starting a job, becoming a parent, or ending a relationship. She supports exploration of values and next steps while also teaching tools to reduce daily stress. To begin, clients complete a short intake and schedule an initial appointment.
How her methods work for online sessions
Dominique uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person in front of her, focusing on listening and reflecting so people can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. This approach helps with relationship concerns, identity questions, and feeling stuck in life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to teach concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are useful when feelings feel overwhelming.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. Dominique will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to different techniques, and then agree on a plan together. That may include skill-building, short exercises between sessions, or targeted trauma work when appropriate.
