About Dominique

Dominique Pozo is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and trauma-related issues. She works with people navigating addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, career shifts, and the strains that come with life changes. Dominique draws on nine years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy approachable for parents and families looking for practical support.

Her style starts by listening and acknowledging the strengths people already have.

Background and approach

Sessions often center on clear goals and steps that fit daily life. Dominique explains things plainly and helps clients try techniques between meetings. She integrates client-centered work with trauma-focused tools when needed.

That can include evidence-based EMDR for traumatic memories and mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. Dominique also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns and family influences. Dominique holds LPCC and LMHC credentials, licensed in New Mexico as NM LPCC CTB-2023-0094 and in Hawaii as HI LMHC MHC-777.

She offers sessions in English and works with international clients as well. Therapy sessions are available through a mix of formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and are billed via a cancellable subscription.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the clients own goals. The therapist follows the clients lead, reflects concerns back, and helps set practical next steps for family and parenting challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that targets distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. It is used for trauma, abuse, and intense distress and can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Those skills can help with anxiety, anger, grief, and the daily stress of parenting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that seem to fit. If something does not feel helpful, the plan is adjusted together over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow busy parents and families to fit therapy into their schedules and to access care from different locations. The variety of formats also makes it easier to use brief check-ins alongside longer sessions, depending on what works best for each person.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

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.
