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.
