About Dominique
Dominique Watkins is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, goal-oriented therapy. She holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. Dominique aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for people facing everyday struggles like anxiety and depression.
She uses clear, action-focused methods to help clients manage stress and navigate life changes.
Background and approach
In session she listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a person’s life. That approach supports people coping with grief, trauma, parenting strain, and relationship or family conflict. Dominique also helps people who are dealing with attention differences such as ADHD by creating step-by-step plans and practical routines.
She combines problem-solving with short-term goals so progress is visible and manageable. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can try between meetings. Her training and dual licensure cover practice in Michigan and Virginia, and she draws on nearly a decade of experience when tailoring a plan.
The tone in sessions is collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on what the client wants to change. Dominique works with people to strengthen self-esteem, build coping strategies, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. She supports clients who want clear strategies and steady guidance as they work toward more balance and better functioning.
Practical approaches for online care
Dominique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT typically involves setting clear goals, trying small behavior changes, and checking what works over time. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on immediate steps and strengths to move toward the client’s preferred future rather than spending long periods on the past.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dominique will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. She treats this as a collaborative process, adjusting methods as you track what helps most for your daily routine and symptoms.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
