About Dominque

Dominque Proctor is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and substance-related concerns. He aims to blend support with accountability so clients can better understand their thoughts and behaviors while practicing new skills between sessions.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, he draws on practical strategies to address intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Proctor’s background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville and a Master of Social Work completed in 2022, and he is also pursuing an MBA to expand his leadership and organizational skills. His practice integrates evidence-based tools and assessments to track progress and keep treatment focused.

He offers a warm, nonjudgmental stance while encouraging clients to examine patterns, set boundaries, and take concrete steps toward their goals. Outside of his clinical work he enjoys travel, following Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and spending time with family and friends.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at creating measurable change and helping clients move forward with clear, achievable plans.

Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their values and feelings at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for clients struggling with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and this therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals and preferences. Together they assess needs, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and use timely coaching when challenges arise, all while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interventions to the individual’s circumstances.
