About Dominque
Dominque Proctor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, codependency, substance use, trauma, and life transitions. He helps people who keep putting others first and want clearer boundaries or better communication.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new skills between meetings. He emphasizes both support and accountability, helping clients notice how choices, thoughts, and feelings connect.
His background includes work in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. That experience shaped his approach to worries that feel intense or persistent, like anxiety, addiction, or post-traumatic stress. He tracks progress with concrete tools and assessments so people can see change over time.
In sessions he helps people set boundaries, improve communication, and manage cravings or urges. He also works on issues around abandonment, attachment, jealousy, and commitment worries. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, and client-centered methods to make interventions practical and usable.
Dominque earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville in 2020 and a Master of Social Work in 2022. He is pursuing an MBA to develop leadership and organizational skills. Outside work he follows Ohio State football, travels, and spends time with family and friends.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name what matters and feel understood. It helps when someone is stuck in people-pleasing or unsure about their own wants and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It provides specific exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and change behaviors that keep you stuck, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be useful for boundaries, emotional control, and responding differently when relationships trigger strong reactions.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
