Dominique Pozo , LPCC, LMHC

Dominique Pozo is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people work through issues like addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and grief. She brings nine years of professional experience and respects the life knowledge each person brings to therapy. Dominique works with adults who want practical tools and steady support as they face change.

She uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. Sessions often start by listening closely to what matters most to the client. From there she helps people set small, clear goals and choose strategies that fit their situation and pace.

Dominique draws on Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client's own priorities. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma memories need direct attention. Mindfulness and narrative tools are used to build present-moment coping and rewrite painful stories into more balanced ones.

Her background includes work as an art therapist and clinical counselor in Hawaii and New Mexico, and she holds LPCC and LMHC credentials. That clinical variety informs a flexible style that balances emotional processing with concrete skills.

Many people come to Dominique for help with family problems, intimacy and communication struggles, parenting stress, or recovery from substance use. She also supports those facing eating concerns, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. Her goal is to help clients tap their strengths and move toward clearer next steps.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Dominique uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on what matters to the client, letting their priorities lead the work while she provides guidance and reflective listening. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when trauma memories need structured processing to reduce their hold on daily life. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and stay present during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on how the client responds and what goals they want to reach. The client and therapist decide together which combination of methods feels most useful.

Online sessions provide flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, on-the-go support and can fit into busy days. These formats make it easier to keep consistent momentum while fitting therapy into real life.
