Dominique Watkins, LMSW, LCSW

Dominique Watkins is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She holds Michigan and Virginia licenses as a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and brings eight years of practice experience to sessions. Dominique writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard and understood from the start.

She helps people navigate depression, trauma, grief, and family conflict. Dominique supports parents who are juggling caregiving with other demands, and she works with people facing life transitions or trying to improve self-esteem. ADHD-related struggles are also a part of her clinical focus.

Dominique uses practical, goal-oriented approaches in therapy. She grounds sessions in tools and small manageable steps so clients can notice progress between meetings. The work often involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new habits that feel realistic in day-to-day life.

Her style is collaborative. Dominique treats each person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths. She aims to create clear, achievable plans for the concerns someone brings to therapy.

If you decide to reach out, she asks that you consider what you hope to change. That helps shape early sessions and makes it easier to track what’s working as therapy continues.

How Dominique uses CBT and Solution-Focused work online

Dominique draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people make practical changes. CBT involves noticing and testing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood; it helps people develop new ways of responding to stressful situations. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete goals and steps that move someone toward what they want to see change in their life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Sessions aim to build on strengths and identify doable experiments between meetings.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and support steady momentum between appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins or focused skill practice when that suits someone's routine.
