About Dominique

Dominique Pozo is a licensed counselor who helps people build stronger self esteem and cope with life changes. She practices from Hawaii and brings nine years of experience to conversations about relationships, addiction, grief, and trauma. Dominique emphasizes practical steps that feel doable and grounded in everyday life.

She believes people carry useful strengths from their life stories. In sessions she helps clients notice those strengths and apply them to current struggles. Dominique often uses art-based ways of working alongside talking to make thoughts and feelings easier to access.

Her background includes clinical work with addiction, family conflict, trauma and related concerns. Dominique blends several ways of working to match what a person needs in the moment. That can mean focusing on present goals, looking at lifelong patterns, or using mindfulness to calm strong feelings.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that starts with small, clear steps. Dominique aims to make each session feel manageable while keeping sight of longer-term change. She encourages people to try things between sessions so progress carries into daily life.

Dominique holds the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, listed as LPCC and LMHC. She is licensed in Hawaii and New Mexico and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with her practice and schedule.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach prioritize the issues the person finds most pressing and aim for clear, practical next steps that can be tried between visits.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people work through distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing. In an online setting it can be adapted into step-by-step sessions that move slowly and check in frequently to keep the work manageable.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. Online sessions often include short guided practices and everyday exercises people can use during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, shortening travel time, and using flexible appointment times. Different online setups can make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited.
