About Jessica

Jessica Dominowski is an experienced licensed social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career challenges, compassion fatigue, and other life changes.

Background and approach

As an Iowa-based clinician with 20 years of practice, she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help clients develop coping skills, clarify goals, and move toward greater emotional balance. Her approach emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental working relationship where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely.

Jessica blends client-centered listening with practical, goal-focused techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness skills, and she also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when helpful. She encourages collaboration so each person’s preferences and strengths shape the work.

Jessica welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to partner with clients through change, loss, and career transitions. Her practice pays attention to workplace challenges and women’s concerns as well as stressors related to first responder roles, bringing two decades of experience to each therapeutic relationship.

Integrating Skill-Based Therapies with Online Care

Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. She also draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathic environment where clients' experiences and values guide the pace and focus of sessions.

These approaches are explored together rather than applied in isolation; finding the right mix is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works with clients to determine which methods align with their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as needs evolve so therapy remains focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. This range of formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions, and allows clients to choose the way they engage that feels most comfortable and accessible to them.
