About Dominique
Dominique Pozo is a licensed counselor who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She works with adults who want practical support to cope with life changes and move toward healthier patterns. Dominique brings nine years of clinical experience and draws on body-centered methods alongside talk-based therapy.
Her approach begins by listening and building a safe, steady connection. She trusts the life experience clients already carry and looks for strengths to use in the work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what feels useful and manageable for each person. Dominique uses somatic-informed techniques to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s needs and values.
EMDR and mindfulness tools are available when trauma processing or regulation practice are helpful. Clients can expect a collaborative pace and clear goals. The therapist helps name patterns like codependency, communication problems, or compulsive behaviors and then tries concrete steps to shift them.
Homework may include body awareness, grounding practices, or narrative exercises to reframe difficult memories. She holds licenses as LPCC and LMHC and practices from Hawaii. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online in multiple formats.
Dominique invites people to take a small first step toward change and will support them through the process.
How somatic and trauma-informed approaches work online
Dominique uses somatic-informed work to help people notice where stress and emotion live in the body. That can mean simple breathing, grounding, or movement cues to reduce overwhelm and reconnect with bodily signals. Client-centered therapy is also a core part of her practice, focusing sessions around what the person needs and values most, and allowing the pace to be set by the client.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, as a way to process trauma when someone and the therapist agree it may help. EMDR is offered alongside mindfulness practices to support regulation and present-moment awareness. The therapist will discuss options and together decide which methods fit the client's goals and comfort level.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work more accessible. These formats let people meet from home, schedule around busy lives, and continue care during life transitions. The therapist collaborates on a plan that fits each person's schedule and learning style, so therapy feels usable and sustainable.
