About Gerri
Gerri Dominguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles that affect life at home, including stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and grief. Parents and adults dealing with intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, or major life changes will find her areas of focus listed here. She also works with issues such as bipolar moods, compassion fatigue, and process or sex-related addictions.
Gerri draws on a range of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need tools to manage thoughts and strong emotions. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness ideas when people want to notice difficult feelings without being driven by them.
Sessions are collaborative. Gerri describes the client as the driver and herself as the passenger who helps around turns. That means she will offer options, try approaches, and check in about what is working. Conversations can look at the past, focus on present problems, or prepare for the future depending on the client's goals.
Her background includes work across individual and group settings, and experience addressing domestic violence, adoption-related concerns, and substance use. Expect straightforward, conversational sessions where the therapist helps people name problems, practice new responses, and plan next steps.
Gerri accepts English-speaking clients based in Texas and also works with international clients. Before booking, confirm the session formats she currently offers so arrangements fit your schedule.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Gerri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stresses because it focuses on small, practical changes.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. DBT offers concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices appear in her work as well, helping people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as they learn what helps. That planning happens together rather than being decided ahead of time.
The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into busy days and reduce travel time. Confirm the session formats Gerri currently offers before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to check in between busy commitments and practice skills learned in sessions during ordinary routines.
