About Dominique
Dominique Harwell is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with eight years of experience. She works with adults who want to manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, or changes like grief and loss. Dominique focuses on practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon.
She uses a client-centered stance that keeps what matters to the person in the lead. That means sessions begin with what is most pressing and move toward small, achievable changes. Dominique draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to handle strong emotions and impulses.
Her work also includes trauma-focused strategies such as EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem. She brings in existential ideas when clients want to weigh life goals, meaning, or difficult choices. These methods are used to help people rebuild confidence, repair communication, and reduce repeated reactivity in close relationships.
Dominique helps people put practical routines in place, like clearer boundaries, better sleep and stress management, and communication habits that limit escalation. She talks through patterns of guilt, shame, codependency, and commitment worry in a straightforward way. The aim is to create manageable steps so anger and frustration do less damage to work and relationships.
If someone prefers to start with short-term coping tools or a longer look at life direction, Dominique adjusts the pace. She invites a first conversation to map goals and expectations before moving forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings to the session. Online, that looks like starting where the client is most upset and building a plan from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change them, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed remotely. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are easy to teach over video or phone and then used in daily life.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and which methods feel like a good fit. That plan can shift as progress or new needs emerge, so the first few sessions are often about testing what works.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter focused check-ins, and avoid travel time. They also let people continue work on communication skills, impulse control techniques, and trauma processing without rearranging their whole schedule.
