About Gerri
Gerri Dominguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship struggles, phobias, and other concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. She aims to listen without judgment and support people through change.
Gerri draws from several counseling approaches and chooses methods based on what each person needs. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different actions.
Background and approach
She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to manage strong emotions and build distress tolerance. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She describes herself as a passenger while the client drives, staying alongside during difficult moments.
Sessions can include talking, skill practice, and simple exercises to try between meetings. Gerri has six years of experience in a variety of settings, including individual and group work. That background shapes a flexible approach to common life challenges like parenting stress, sleep problems, and coping with loss or trauma.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. For people wondering how to begin, she asks that they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment according to availability.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, phobias, or avoidance are getting in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and compulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clear. That collaborative process helps make sessions useful and relevant to a person's life.
Online therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text options work well for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and to use therapy tools between meetings.
