About Dominque
Dominque Proctor is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with five years of clinical experience. He completed a Bachelor of Social Work at Ohio University Zanesville in 2020 and a Master of Social Work in 2022. He is also pursuing an MBA at Indiana Wesleyan University. Dominque works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, substance use, trauma, and life transitions.
He aims for therapy that mixes practical skills with honest accountability. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, testing new ways of responding, and tracking progress over time. He uses structured tools and brief assessments to keep work focused and measurable.
In sessions he helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He teaches coping strategies, supports boundary-setting, and practices clearer communication. He also helps clients set concrete goals and follow through between meetings.
Dominque has experience across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. That background informs a stepwise approach to change - starting with manageable skills and building toward more complex shifts. He uses methods that emphasize both feeling understood and doing specific exercises to change daily habits.
Outside clinical work he enjoys travel, Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and time with family. He describes his role as someone who listens, provides direct feedback, and helps clients stay accountable to the goals they choose.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Dominique commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy concentrates on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their goals and make decisions that fit their values.He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That may mean mixing CBT exercises with skill practice from DBT and reflective conversation from client-centered work.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. These practical benefits can help sustain regular work on goals and skill practice between meetings.
