About Gerri

Gerri Dominguez is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns such as intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and various process and sex addictions. With a practical, person-centered orientation, she attends to both urgent problems and longer-term growth goals.

Drawing on six years of counseling experience, Gerri blends a range of therapeutic perspectives to meet each client's needs. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices to tailor interventions for present-focused change and deeper meaning-making.

Gerri describes her role as a supportive companion in the work - she aims to sit alongside clients as they navigate difficult emotions and make changes, offering guidance while encouraging clients to take an active role in their healing. She offers multiple formats for connecting and accepts clients across regions, working in English and welcoming international clients.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and strengthening resilience so people can manage symptoms, improve relationships, and pursue more fulfilling daily lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Gerri commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports people in clarifying values and learning skills to accept difficult feelings while pursuing meaningful action.

Finding the right fit is part of the process, and she approaches treatment collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of CBT, ACT, DBT skills, or mindfulness practices best matches their needs, goals, and preferences rather than relying on a single method from the outset.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from various locations and to continue progress between sessions through brief messages or scheduled calls, supporting consistency while adapting to the realities of clients' lives.
