About Dominique
Her graduate training included two distinct internships - one within a correctional facility and another at a cancer center - experiences that shaped her familiarity with complex medical, legal, and psychosocial needs. Following those internships, she worked for three years as a therapist in a clinic setting, providing direct clinical care to a diverse caseload.
For the past 15 years she has served as a social worker in the public defender's office, delivering services to indigent individuals facing criminal charges. That role has involved assessing needs, connecting clients with resources, and addressing the intersecting impacts of legal involvement, social disadvantage, and behavioral health concerns. Her background reflects a blend of clinical training and sustained practice within systems that support people navigating criminal justice and health-related challenges.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dominique Decoster integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s goals and experiences guide the work; it is helpful for those seeking greater self-understanding and emotional support. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be beneficial for individuals coping with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dominique Decoster collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what is most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care. Working remotely allows licensed professionals to provide consistent support while adapting to each person’s logistical needs and communication preferences.
