Gerri Dominguez, LPC

Gerri Dominguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and jealousy. She accepts international clients and brings a calm, steady presence to conversations about trauma, sexual assault, and intimacy-related issues. Gerri aims to listen first and follow the pace set by each person she meets.

With six years of counseling experience, Gerri draws on a range of approaches to match the client's goals. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices as tools rather than rules. Sessions can focus on practical skills, values-driven action, or processing painful memories depending on the person’s needs.

Gerri describes the therapeutic role as a companion on the journey rather than the driver. She offers steady support through difficult conversations and helps people build confidence and coping strategies. The clinician emphasizes working at a comfortable pace, even when the work feels uncomfortable or painful.

People often come with specific worries such as obsessive thoughts, phobias, process addictions, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. Gerri also addresses parenting stress, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and life transitions in practical ways that fit day-to-day life.

Her aim is to help people take the next right step for them. New clients begin by using the site process to match and schedule a first session, then decide together which approach fits best.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and issues that involve avoidance or unclear priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT often helps with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, mood concerns, phobias, and sleep problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It can be helpful for anger, intense mood shifts, and coping during crises.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Gerri will discuss options and try techniques that match the client's goals and preferences. Sometimes the work focuses on skills and experiments, and other times it focuses on exploring meaning and values. The plan can shift as needs change.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists use these practical benefits to help therapy fit daily life while focusing on the issues you want to change.
