About Dominque
Dominque Proctor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes. He also supports those coping with trauma, substance use, compassion fatigue, and concerns about intimacy and self-esteem. He uses straightforward talk and practical steps to address what feels overwhelming now.
He aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can be honest about their experiences.
Background and approach
At the same time he emphasizes accountability and action. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, taking responsibility for choices, and practicing new skills between meetings. Dominque integrates several approaches to match each person's needs.
He draws on existential ideas to explore meaning and personal values, client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses dialectical skills for emotion regulation and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work. His background includes work in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings.
He earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville in 2020 and a Master of Social Work in 2022, and he is pursuing an MBA at Indiana Wesleyan University. He brings about five years of clinical experience to his practice. In sessions, clients can expect goal setting, concrete coping strategies, and measurable tracking of progress.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people explore meaning, values, and life purpose. It invites reflection on what matters most and can be useful when someone faces big changes, loss, or questions about direction.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood. This approach supports building self-awareness and confidence by following the client’s lead and helping them name their own goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and habits. It breaks problems into small steps, teaches practical skills, and helps people test new behaviors between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current concerns, then recommend methods that fit. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan stays practical and responsive to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can reduce bandwidth needs and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or communicate when typing is easier. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, travel, and people who prefer not to use video.
