About Dominique

Dominique Harwell is an Ohio-licensed counselor (LPCC) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and related life concerns.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she aims to help clients build motivation, confidence, and more satisfying connections while addressing issues such as trauma, intimacy, eating concerns, and ADHD. Dominique emphasizes practical tools and collaborative planning tailored to each person’s situation.

She cultivates a nonjudgmental atmosphere where feelings and thoughts can be explored openly, and she partners with clients to find healthier balance between work, family, and personal needs. Her practice also attends to areas like blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, postpartum depression, and career-related decisions.

Dominique invites people to take the first step toward meaningful change and offers steady support through the therapeutic process.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Dominique commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address behaviors that interfere with daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients explore values, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions.

She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills fit a client’s goals. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss symptoms, preferences, and goals and then shape a plan that can be adjusted as work unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and continuity of care for people balancing work, family, or life transitions.
