About Dominque
Dominque Proctor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people manage anxiety and stress. He also supports clients facing depression, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, trauma, and big life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals so people can see progress over time.
Proctor blends a warm, nonjudgmental approach with a focus on accountability. He encourages clients to notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, then practice small changes between sessions.
Background and approach
This mix of support and action aims to make change feel doable instead of overwhelming. He uses tools drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to shape each plan. Those tools help with emotion regulation, changing unhelpful thinking, and improving communication in close relationships.
He may also draw on elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work when that fits a client's goals. Dominque holds a Master of Social Work earned in 2022 and completed a Bachelor of Social Work in 2020 at Ohio University Zanesville.
He has five years of clinical experience in outpatient and intensive treatment settings, working with adults and young adults in a range of care contexts. Outside work he enjoys travel, staying active, and following Ohio State Buckeyes football. He aims to help clients set realistic goals, track measurable progress, and build skills they can use long after sessions end.
Therapy approaches that translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities, creating a space where people can talk through their concerns and set personal goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, self-esteem, and life direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and practice. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to handle intense feelings and relationship challenges.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your needs, try different methods when helpful, and adjust plans based on what works for you. Together you will pick techniques and steps that fit your goals and daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit brief exchanges into busy days. These options make it simpler to keep momentum, practice skills between sessions, and get support from licensed professionals without rearranging as much of your schedule.
