About Dominique

Dominique Squire is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience practicing in North Carolina. She has delivered care in in-home settings, in-patient facilities, and via telehealth. Dominique aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can speak honestly about what feels hard right now.

She focuses on practical steps that help clients manage day-to-day stress and overwhelming emotions. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and small changes a person can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Dominique encourages clients to build skills that support steadier moods, clearer communication, and better problem solving. Her work often addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and life transitions. She also gives attention to issues like ADHD, young adult concerns, blended family dynamics, and communication or commitment problems.

Dominique draws on several evidence-based approaches to reach real-world change. She uses client-centered methods to listen and adapt to each person, cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. People who prefer a straightforward, supportive therapist may find her style helpful.

Sessions are practical and collaborative, with an emphasis on what clients want to change and what they can try next. Dominique frames therapy as a partnership aimed at steady progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online work that fit busy lives

Dominique integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills. Client-centered therapy means she begins by listening and shaping sessions around each person’s goals and concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and testing small experiments to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, brings concrete skills for managing intense feelings and handling crisis moments without making things worse.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Dominique will talk with each person about what feels most important, what has or hasn’t worked before, and which skills to try first. She adjusts methods as goals change so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for today’s schedules. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions keep things simple, and live chat or text messaging provide short, on-the-go check-ins between meetings. These options make it easier to fit skill practice and support into real life while working with a licensed professional.

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.
