About Dominique
Dominique Harwell is an Ohio LPCC with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Her work also includes focus areas such as body image, blended family issues, communication problems, and postpartum depression.
She uses straightforward, conversational sessions that let people talk through what matters most to them. Dominique leans on client-centered methods to follow each person's concerns, and she brings techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT when coping skills or behavior changes are needed. She also uses EMDR and existential ideas when trauma or life meaning are central topics.
In a session she listens first, then helps set small goals or practiceable skills. That might look like noticing unhelpful thought patterns, trying a new communication step, or learning a short grounding strategy to reduce intense emotion. Sessions aim to be usable between visits, not just discussed in the room.
Her practice pays attention to real-life demands like parenting, work schedules, and blended household dynamics. Dominique supports people sorting through divorce or separation, commitment questions, or the loneliness that can come with major life changes. She also addresses career stress and compassion fatigue for those feeling worn down.
Sessions are conducted in English. People who live outside the U.S. may be matched for online work. To begin, a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session start the process.
How sessions work
How Dominique’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow what matters most to the individual and respond to their priorities in each meeting. It is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings or clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises, worksheets, and skill practice designed to be used between meetings to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. When strong emotions or impulsive reactions are present, DBT techniques can help people manage intense moments and improve interactions at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominique will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts the focus over time based on what helps most and what feels manageable for the client.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins between errands, scheduling sessions around work or school, or avoiding travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while managing parenting and household responsibilities.
