About Dominique
Dominique Dew is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family dynamics, depression, and parenting concerns. Dominique approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
She says change takes courage and offers steady support during those first steps toward a different life. In sessions she listens first and then helps people make practical choices.
Background and approach
She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities and values. Dominique includes techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
Those skills offer ways to manage intense feelings and improve everyday coping. She also brings mindfulness practices to help people notice their reactions and make calmer decisions. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond everyday stress, including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related issues.
She also addresses areas like caregiver stress, adoption and foster care, blended family difficulties, and attachment concerns. Sessions are offered in English and conducted through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Dominique emphasizes collaboration - she and the client choose the approaches that fit best for the person’s life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit your life
Dominique commonly uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That approach means the therapist follows the client’s lead, validates their experience, and helps uncover strengths to use in daily life.She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT offers concrete exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dominique discusses goals and preferences and then tailors techniques to the person’s needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to use around life demands. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions suit hands-free check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging provide quick access between meetings. These options increase flexibility for busy schedules and help people keep continuity of care when travel or other obligations arise.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
