About Dominique

Dominique Watkins is a licensed social worker with eight years of clinical experience practicing in Michigan and Virginia.

Background and approach

She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to support people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or family conflict, and also works with clients managing ADHD and life transitions. Dominique emphasizes clients' strengths and lived expertise as central to the therapeutic process and helps translate personal resources into manageable steps toward change.

Dominique offers a collaborative, respectful approach that values the courage it takes to seek help and the real-life progress people make between sessions. Her style blends structured techniques with solution-focused conversation so clients can build skills for coping, improve communication, and address patterns that contribute to stress or low self-esteem.

She aims to create a practical plan tailored to each person's goals and pace, supporting growth toward a more satisfying, balanced life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Dominique frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Solution-Focused Therapy centers conversations on strengths, exceptions to problems, and clear goals, helping clients build forward momentum and concrete next steps when facing relationship issues, life transitions, or ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dominique works with each person to assess needs, priorities, and preferences and then adapts methods to fit those goals so therapy feels practical and relevant. Together the client and therapist decide which strategies to emphasize and when to adjust course based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and fit sessions into daily life while working toward measurable improvements in coping, communication, and everyday functioning.
