    About Dominque

    Dominque Proctor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, addiction, trauma, and career or life transitions. He aims to make therapy practical and rooted in real change.

    He keeps sessions warm and nonjudgmental. At the same time he emphasizes accountability. People are invited to look honestly at patterns, try new behaviors, and track progress between appointments.

    Dominque uses Motivational Interviewing along with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. He blends these methods to help clients set clear goals, build coping skills, and improve communication. Sessions often focus on concrete strategies such as boundary-setting, emotion regulation, and relapse prevention planning.

    His background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville and a Master of Social Work completed in 2022. He has about five years of clinical experience across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. That range informs how he supports people through both short-term challenges and longer recovery goals.

    Outside clinical work he is pursuing an MBA and enjoys travel, Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and time with family and friends. He describes his role as helping clients identify goals, use their strengths, and create steps that lead to meaningful change.

  2. How these approaches can work online

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused way to help people resolve mixed feelings and find internal reasons to change. It can be useful when someone wants help tackling substance use, impulsivity, or making a major life shift. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and listening, giving clients space to name their own goals and feel heard while they explore difficult emotions and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative choice can shift over time as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.

    If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports regular tracking of goals and homework between sessions, which ties into the therapist's focus on measurable progress and accountability.
