CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Dominique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and routines that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT breaks worries into parts you can tackle with simple exercises and behavior changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps that move a person toward their goals, often producing quick, usable shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dominique will discuss your goals and try strategies together to see what fits best. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts methods based on what helps you make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video lets you talk face to face, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or paced communication. These options make therapy more flexible for work breaks, parenting schedules, or people who prefer not to use video.
