About Dominique
Dominique Harwell, LPCC, helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life transitions. She focuses on building motivation and confidence while addressing relationship strain, grief, and problems with self-esteem. Dominique aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates a calm space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps for balancing work and life, reconnecting with important people, and restoring day-to-day routines. Dominique listens for what matters most to each person and helps translate that into small, actionable goals.
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience working with concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with challenges like body image, codependency, communication problems, and postpartum depression. Dominique uses approaches that help clients build skills and notice progress between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing is one of the approaches she uses to help people clarify what they want and find the momentum to change. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the focus on each person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dominique is licensed as an LPCC in Ohio. Sessions are conducted in English, and she is open to working with clients who live outside the United States. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How Dominique’s approaches work in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build confidence to try new behaviors. It focuses on listening, asking questions, and supporting a person’s goals rather than telling them what to do. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client’s priorities and helps them feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominique aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will check in early on to see what is helping and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay useful and focused on the client’s priorities.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments during lunch breaks or between commitments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight, while others use full sessions to work on deeper material. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to find a rhythm and format that suit day-to-day needs. -
