About Dominique

Dominique Montgomery is a licensed social worker in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and shifts in life circumstances. She brings six years of professional experience to collaborative work that centers on improving self-esteem, motivation, and family dynamics.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses trauma, grief, career concerns, ADHD, and a range of interpersonal and emotional challenges. She emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings safely and honestly.

Dominique draws on evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, to help clients identify patterns of thinking and develop practical skills for coping and behavior change. She also integrates approaches that honor emotions and attachment needs while supporting clients in building meaningful, values-based action.

Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing can feel daunting, and Dominique aims to offer steady support throughout that process. Her work combines practical strategies with empathetic listening to help people move toward more fulfilling daily life and healthier relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Dominique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT typically focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers exercises that can be practiced between sessions. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes clarifying personal values, accepting difficult emotions, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT can be useful for coping with life changes, chronic stress, and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominique will work together with each client to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, blending elements from different therapies when it best serves progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapists to use practical tools and homework assignments that fit into everyday life.
