About Dominique
Dominique Pozo is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people work through difficult life moments. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and draws on nine years of clinical experience to guide clients toward clearer choices and steadier coping. Dominique writes plainly and listens closely to understand each person's story.
She uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. That approach makes it easier to separate a person from a problem and name patterns that feel stuck.
Background and approach
Dominique also brings Client-Centered and psychodynamic ideas into sessions to honor a person's experience while noticing longer-term patterns that shape behavior. Her work often addresses addictions, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and grief. She also supports people facing eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focuses include abandonment, blended family issues, codependency, and fertility or fatherhood questions. Sessions can include practical skills, reflective conversation, and creative ways of telling a different story about your life. Dominique aims to help people find small, manageable shifts that add up over time.
She welcomes people who are ready to begin a process of change and growth. Dominique practices in Hawaii and offers services in English. She is available to international clients and works through multiple online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online session options
Online approaches that focus on your life story
Dominique commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and change the stories they carry. This approach makes it easier to separate a person from a problem and to name recurring themes that get in the way of goals. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective and priorities and supports growth through empathic listening and reflection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominique treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on narrative shifts, present-moment coping, trauma processing, or a blend of techniques.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reviews, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy days, different time zones, and varied comfort levels.
