Dominique Patton, LCSW - Therapist in Utah

About Dominique

Dominique Patton uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stressful times. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience. Dominique focuses on everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for honest conversation. Dominique listens first and tailors the work to each person’s needs. She draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and bring attention into the present moment. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and keep moving forward. Solution-focused methods support quick, goal-oriented steps that build momentum.

Dominique adjusts pace and methods to match what a person wants and can manage. Sessions include clear, straightforward talk and concrete strategies to try between meetings. She encourages small, achievable steps that add up over time.

Dominique’s style is compassionate but direct, offering guidance without judgment. Located in Utah, she brings practical experience and steady support to parents and individuals seeking change. Dominique invites people to take the first step and work together on realistic goals for day-to-day life.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment. Online sessions allow the therapist to follow the client’s lead, tailor conversations, and adjust goals as issues come up. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete steps to change thought patterns and behaviors. In virtual work CBT often includes worksheets, activity scheduling, and simple experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dominique will work together with the client to identify which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video can recreate face-to-face conversation, while phone or chat options suit tighter schedules or quieter check-ins. Text-based messaging supports brief, ongoing contact and encouragement between appointments. These options offer flexibility so people can use the methods that help them stay consistent and make steady progress.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
