About Dominique

Dominique Dew is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Georgia with a decade of professional experience. She draws on a range of evidence-informed practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family conflicts.

Background and approach

Dominique frames clients as the experts of their own stories and looks for strengths to build on while navigating life transitions and complex challenges such as trauma, grief, addictions, and intimacy concerns. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving guided by the belief captured in her personal motto, "Find A Way or Make One."

This perspective encourages clients to take courageous steps toward change while receiving support to develop coping skills, improve communication, and address patterns contributing to anger, low self-esteem, or career and parenting stresses. Dominique also works with issues ranging from bipolar and ADHD to caregiving stress, adoption and foster care matters, and other relational and personality-related concerns.

Dominique practices as an LCSW and CSW (GA LCSW CSW008120) and offers multiple session formats to fit different needs. She aims to empower clients through a strengths-focused, client-centered stance that blends structured techniques with attention to emotions and mindfulness.

How practical therapies translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; online sessions can be used to practice skills and set concrete goals between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and support, helping clients explore their values and strengths while feeling heard and validated in a collaborative relationship. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds structured skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced through exercises assigned and reviewed across sessions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Dominique approaches that decision collaboratively. She will partner with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapt methods so the plan fits the person's situation rather than imposing a single technique.

Online therapy with this practice offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to connect around work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats allow for regular skill-building, timely check-ins, and adjustments to pacing, helping clients integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
