Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Clinician
Dominque Proctor uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client's goals and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration, and is well suited for people seeking a respectful space to explore identity, values, and personal challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool he employs to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping strategies. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on skills that change thinking and behavior in measurable ways.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is used when clients need skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors. DBT combines acceptance with change-oriented strategies to support emotion regulation and healthier relationships.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dominque works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He guides clients through trying different techniques and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and practice skills between meetings with a licensed professional.
