Dominique Pozo , LPCC, LMHC

Dominique Pozo is a licensed Art Therapist and Clinical Counselor based in Hawaii with nine years of professional experience helping individuals and families navigate difficult life challenges. She holds credentials as an LPCC and an LMHC - LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and is licensed to practice in both Hawaii and New Mexico. Dominique's work has focused on supporting people coping with addictions, relationship struggles, family conflict, and experiences of trauma and abuse, using therapeutic tools that honor each person's lived experience and resilience.

She approaches counseling with a belief in the inherent strengths clients carry from their life histories, and she aims to help people access and build on those internal resources. Dominique creates a space where clients can explore patterns, process difficult emotions, and develop practical strategies for change. Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and she welcomes the opportunity to accompany clients through growth and transformation at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Dominique integrates Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness Therapy into her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting clients where they are, listening deeply, and supporting self-directed growth - it is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and navigating life transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing the intensity of distressing experiences, often used with clients who have a history of abuse or significant trauma. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and grounding skills that help manage anxiety, cravings, and overwhelming emotions through present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dominique works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques and therapies best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel meaningful and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from various locations, offer more timing options for busy lives, and allow clients to choose the communication style that fits them best when working with licensed professionals and therapists.
