About Dominique
LMSW, LCSW in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience, Dominique Watkins helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related struggles. She grounds work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy and emphasizes the client's strengths in deciding what to work on.
Dominique writes that clients are the experts in their own stories. She uses that as a starting point to clarify practical goals and steps. Sessions typically focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and routines with CBT techniques and on identifying small, workable changes using solution-focused strategies.
Her approach is collaborative and direct. She asks about what is most pressing and then helps people set concrete, short-term goals. Conversations often include skill practice, real-life experiments, and review of what worked between sessions.
She has worked across settings for eight years and brings that experience to everyday problems like parenting strain, relationship friction, grief after loss, or the concentration and organization challenges linked to ADHD. Dominique emphasizes strengths and prior successes when planning next steps.
To start, she recommends the matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so practical needs and goals can be discussed. The first meetings focus on defining short-term aims and identifying a few immediate steps people can try.

How Dominique uses CBT and solution-focused work in online sessions
Dominique relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy as primary tools. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing them, and practicing alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-focused work narrows attention to specific, achievable changes and builds on what already works for a person. Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then recommend which methods to try first. Clients and Dominique review progress and adjust plans together as needs shift. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and parenting by removing travel time. They also allow brief check-ins when a shorter follow-up is useful, and they can be arranged to match a day that suits routine demands. Confirm current session options and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire.Sheet 3
