About Dominique
Dominique Oputa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Dominique also supports those navigating bipolar mood patterns and major life transitions.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Dominique treats clients as the expert on their own story and helps them build on the skills they already have. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and real-world strategies to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Dominique uses tools from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She brings in Motivational Interviewing when people need help finding direction and Solution-Focused Therapy when short-term, goal-oriented work makes sense. This mix makes room for both exploration and action.
In therapy she often helps people name what fuels their anger and frustration, test small changes, and practice new ways to respond under pressure. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and end-of-life topics.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect sixteen years working in behavioral health settings. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking. To start, follow the site’s sign-up path and complete the matching questionnaire.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Dominique draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is useful for anger tied to automatic thoughts, anxiety, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, letting the person lead while the therapist offers support and reflection to help clarify goals.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people need help finding reasons to change and Solution-Focused Therapy for short-term goal work. Together these approaches make it easier to move from discussion to practical steps. Dominique aims to figure out the best fit with each person, working collaboratively to choose techniques that match their needs and goals.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, like squeezing in a brief check-in during a lunch break or using audio when video is difficult. They can also allow focused skill practice between sessions. The therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling, pace, and the kinds of exercises that suit the client’s routine.
