Dominique Harwell, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Dominique

Dominique Harwell is a licensed professional clinical counselor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients name what feels most urgent. Her approach aims to make appointments feel like a space to speak honestly and be heard.

She emphasizes practical steps toward better balance and more satisfying connections. Dominique uses therapy methods that match a person's needs, including client-centered talk work and skills-based strategies.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and coping skills. For people who carry trauma, she can incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing methods as appropriate. With eight years of experience, Dominique focuses on real-life problems such as work-life balance, motivation, and clearing patterns that make relationships harder.

She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, parenting concerns, and grief after loss. Sessions are aimed at small, doable changes that add up over time. Dominique holds an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and practices in Ohio.

She offers straightforward, collaborative support and works with each person to set realistic goals. The first step is often a short conversation to decide what feels most important to work on.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their experience at the center of sessions. It emphasizes listening, validation, and working at a pace that feels right. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how people feel. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching exercises and small experiments to do between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Those skills can be practiced in-session and then used in daily life to reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. That variety lets people fit sessions around work, childcare, and busy days. It also makes it easier to keep momentum between meetings, so skills and insights carry into everyday life.

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.
