About Dominique

Dominique Watkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Virginia and an LMSW licensed in Michigan, with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and family conflict. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting stress, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and life transitions.

Her practice focuses on practical, goal-oriented conversations. Sessions look at what is causing stress now and what small changes could reduce it. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people try new ways of thinking and test brief strategies between meetings.

Clients can expect direct, clear discussion about current problems. Dominique helps people outline achievable steps and track progress over time. She uses short-term problem solving alongside skills that address common symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Her background includes eight years in clinical social work settings across Michigan and Virginia. Dominique emphasizes working with strengths that already exist in a person’s life and building on them to manage difficult situations. She encourages concrete practices that fit into daily routines.

People who choose her often want practical tools and a straightforward plan for change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription billing can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location.

BHow sessions work

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Online Sessions

Dominique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include identifying specific thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked between meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which focuses on clarifying goals and building on existing strengths. Those sessions tend to be future-oriented and practical, with quick steps a person can try right away to see if things improve.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominique will work with the individual to figure out which method fits their situation, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from both approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time for those balancing work and family. Licensed professionals often adapt tasks and homework to suit online sessions so practical progress can continue between meetings.
