About Dominque
Dominque Proctor is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with five years of clinical experience. He earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville and completed a Master of Social Work in 2022. His work focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, addiction, trauma, and major life changes.
He meets people where they are and balances support with accountability. Sessions aim to identify patterns and practice new skills between meetings. He helps clients set clear goals and track progress over time.
Dominque uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical strategies to teach coping skills. He also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s concerns. When relationships are the issue, he applies techniques from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict.
His background includes work in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. That experience informs a straightforward style that moves from assessing immediate needs to building longer-term skills. He also uses assessments and measurable tools to monitor change.
Outside of work he is pursuing an MBA at Indiana Wesleyan University and enjoys travel, Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and time with family. Dominque practices in Ohio and provides services in English. If you want clear goals and practical steps, he helps people develop skills and stay accountable to change.
How Dominque’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and steer the goals. Online sessions can use that same conversational style to clarify what matters most and set targets for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches step-by-step skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and stabilizing relationships. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying techniques from different models and measuring what helps most over a few sessions. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings will run. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around school, work, or commuting. Online meetings can make short check-ins possible on busy days, let someone avoid travel time, or reduce the disruption a weekly appointment can cause. Discuss scheduling and practical needs during the matching process so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.Areas of expertise
