How these approaches fit into online therapy
Dominque often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work looks at patterns and meanings in life events and can be useful for issues like identity, attachment, and feeling stuck. He pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping treatment around the person's values and goals; this helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to change.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps you can practice. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training. Together, these approaches give both reflective space and concrete tools so therapy can match different needs and goals.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as work progresses. Clients help shape the plan and track what works so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face when discussion and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for on-the-go support and ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum while fitting care into a busy life.
