Therapeutic Approaches for Virtual Care
Dominique frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in exploring their own goals and values; this approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and supportive guidance. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop skills to manage mood, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used to teach skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dominique collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time to find the best path forward.
