About Jessica
Jessica Dominowski is a licensed independent social worker with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and career difficulties. Jessica also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier at work and home.
Jessica aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental. She invites honest talk about thoughts and feelings and works alongside clients to set small, achievable goals. Her approach is warm and straightforward, so people leave sessions with clear next steps they can try.
In practice she blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. That means she listens first, then uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to shift unhelpful patterns. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to help with emotional regulation and staying motivated through change.
Her background includes two decades of work supporting people from high-stress jobs and those navigating major life transitions. Jessica has particular experience with workplace issues, first responder concerns, and women's issues. She uses that experience to help clients translate coping skills into their daily routines.
Therapy begins by identifying one or two immediate goals. From there she helps people build skills to manage symptoms, cope with setbacks, and improve functioning at work and in personal life. She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels manageable and to adjust plans as needed.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy, often called CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping during stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs and goals. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and keep follow-up brief between meetings. It also allows people to practice skills in the settings where they live and work, and to use short check-ins when a full session is not needed. Ask about the session types offered when you schedule so you can pick the one that fits your routine.
