About Dominique
Dominique Oputa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.
She approaches work with clear, practical conversations. Sessions focus on what a person already does well and what small changes might make daily life easier. Dominique uses straightforward tools rather than long lectures, and she aims for concrete steps clients can try between meetings.
Her background includes supporting people through caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and aging or geriatric issues. She also helps people navigate blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, and fatherhood concerns. These topics often link back to routines, roles, and expectations in family life.
Dominique draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow the client's priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide brief goal-setting and small, achievable changes.
People who come to her often want clear steps and practical support for daily challenges. She works with adults who are sorting out relationship roles, grief, or major life transitions. The focus is on realistic strategies and steady progress, not quick fixes.
How Dominique integrates therapy approaches into online work
Dominique commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely to what matters to the client and follows their priorities rather than imposing a plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying patterns of thinking that get in the way and practicing concrete changes in behavior to reduce stress or anxiety.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Dominique will discuss options, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful and realistic for the person's goals.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, reduce travel time, and let people speak from wherever they are located within the therapist's service area. The focus is on practical support that fits into everyday life rather than on a particular session style.
