About Dominique

AASW social worker with eight years' experience, based in Australia. Dominique Caesar (they/them) is a trans, autistic, queer social worker who supports adults and young people. Their main areas include LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationships, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Dominique offers telehealth grounded in neuroaffirming care, peer connection, and systemic justice. They focus on practical problem-solving, building self-advocacy, and strengthening peer networks. Sessions aim to respect lived experience and align with each person’s values.

Their background includes community advocacy, supporting neurodivergent young people, tenant and housing advocacy, and working with NDIS participants to reclaim choice and control. They have also mentored emerging social workers and peer workers to centre lived experience in practice.

In sessions Dominique often works on self-understanding, burnout recovery and prevention, and navigating complex systems like housing, education, workplace supports and disability services. They discuss identity and connection for queer and gender diverse clients without pathologising those experiences.

Practice is pragmatic and direct. Dominique helps break problems into actionable steps and builds skills for people to advocate for themselves when they prefer. Their approach acknowledges systemic barriers as part of the picture.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Dominique uses neuroaffirming care to acknowledge and work with autism, ADHD and other ways of being. This approach focuses on understanding sensory differences, communication styles and practical supports that help everyday functioning. It is often useful for people wanting clearer self-advocacy and strategies for burnout.

They also centre peer connection and systemic justice in sessions. That means exploring how systems shape distress and helping clients find ways to navigate or change those systems. This approach supports people dealing with housing, disability supports, or institutional barriers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominique will talk with each person about goals, preferences and needs, and try strategies that fit those priorities. Together they decide which techniques to keep, adapt or stop based on what actually helps.

The biography specifies telehealth as part of Dominique's practice but does not list other formats. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow phone-only or lower-bandwidth conversations where video isn’t convenient, depending on the session options offered at booking.
