About Dominque
Dominque Proctor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and substance use concerns. He writes plain goals with clients and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
He aims to be warm and straightforward in sessions while holding people accountable to change. He blends conversation with tools from several approaches, including Gottman Method ideas for relationship work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking.
Sessions include skill-building for coping, boundary setting, and communication practice. He tracks progress with straightforward measures so people can see change over time.
Proctor has about five years of clinical experience in outpatient and higher-intensity programs such as intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization. He earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville and holds the LISW credential in Ohio.
He is also pursuing an MBA to strengthen leadership and organizational skills. In the room he prioritizes honesty and practical plans.
Expect clear goals, homework you can use in daily life, and a focus on measurable steps. He also draws on motivational interviewing and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need help with impulse control, emotion regulation, or addiction-related choices.
Outside of work he enjoys travel, Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and time with family and friends. He frames therapy as teamwork - candid conversation plus steady practice to move forward.
Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life
Dominque uses the Gottman Method ideas to address relationship patterns, focusing on communication skills, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection. Gottman-informed work helps couples and partners learn concrete communication habits and repair strategies.He also practices client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with listening closely and shaping goals around what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and adjust methods over time. Together the client and therapist will try techniques and track what helps most, shifting focus as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping care consistent.
