Dominque Proctor

Dominque Proctor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and life transitions. He also supports those dealing with trauma, substance use concerns, intimacy-related issues, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation. He aims to create a straightforward, supportive space where people can talk honestly about what they are going through.

Dominque favors a balance of empathy and accountability in sessions. He listens without judgment and also sets clear goals and practical steps. Clients can expect help mapping patterns, setting boundaries, and building skills they can use between meetings.

His background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville and a Master of Social Work completed in 2022. He has five years of clinical experience in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings, which informs how he structures treatment and measures progress.

Dominque uses a mix of approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, existential discussion, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. He often brings in assessments and evidence-based tools to track change over time.

Outside of practice he enjoys travel, Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and time with family and friends. His goal is to help clients set clear goals, practice new skills, and move forward with steady, realistic steps.

How approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can explore their own solutions; it helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and making sense of life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior for problems like depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice can shift over time as progress is tracked and goals change.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, family, and other commitments.
