About Dominque
Dominque Proctor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a range of life challenges. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, substance use concerns, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Sessions aim to be direct and practical so clients leave with tools they can use right away.
Proctor combines warm listening with clear accountability. He encourages people to notice patterns, try new behaviors, and track progress between sessions. That often means learning concrete coping skills, practicing communication techniques, and setting firmer boundaries in daily life.
His training includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and the Gottman Method. He draws on these approaches to tailor work to each person's needs, mixing skill-building with deeper reflection on values and life purpose.
Proctor has five years of clinical experience in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. He supported adolescents, adults, couples, and families in those programs, and now uses that background to guide focused, measurable treatment in private practice.
He earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Ohio University Zanesville, and he is pursuing an MBA at Indiana Wesleyan University. Outside work he enjoys travel, Ohio State Buckeyes football, staying active, and time with family and friends.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel understood. It helps when someone needs space to talk openly and make decisions at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear skills to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It is often used when impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship conflicts are a central concern.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time they may blend methods and adjust focus based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Discussing goals and scheduling openly can help shape a plan that fits daily life and supports steady progress.
