About Dominique

Dominique Pozo is a licensed clinical counselor who focuses on helping people navigate addictions, relationship and family conflicts, trauma, grief, eating concerns, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience she uses a strengths-oriented perspective, inviting clients to draw on their existing resilience and life wisdom to move through painful patterns and difficult moments. Dominique works from the belief that meaningful change emerges when a person’s own resources are noticed and engaged.

Her work blends several evidence-informed approaches, including Internal Family Systems, EMDR, mindfulness, narrative, and client-centered therapies, tailoring interventions to each individual’s needs and pace. Dominique holds licensure as an LPCC in New Mexico (NM LPCC CTB-2023-0094) and as an LMHC in Hawaii (HI LMHC MHC-777).

She welcomes international clients and offers a range of remote session formats to support access across time zones. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Dominique aims to provide a respectful, collaborative space for growth and change.

Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Dominique integrates Internal Family Systems and EMDR alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to tailor online care. Internal Family Systems helps people identify and relate to different internal parts - protective, wounded, or managerial - so they can reduce internal conflict and build self-leadership; this can be useful for issues like shame, codependency, and relationship patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional charge, often applied for past abuse, disaster-related distress, or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Dominique discusses goals, preferences, and comfort with various techniques and will adapt the plan as therapy unfolds so clients can test what feels most helpful for their situation and pace of change.

Online therapy with Dominique is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and geographic distance. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or relocation, and make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations.
