About Gerri

Gerri Dominguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with six years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anger, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and parenting strain. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Gerri keeps work direct and pragmatic. She draws on a range of therapies and chooses what fits each person. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors one week, and on acceptance or mindfulness skills the next. She aims to be alongside clients as they make changes, helping with concrete steps rather than abstract theory.

In a session she listens for patterns that feed anger and frustration. She helps people notice what triggers strong reactions and tests different ways to respond. Practical tools include thought work, breathing and grounding practices, and skills to tolerate difficult emotions without acting on them. She also addresses related problems like sleep disruption, intimacy issues, and addictive behaviors.

Gerri has experience working in individual and group settings. Her approach can include short-term, problem-focused work and longer discussions about values and life direction. She encourages small experiments between sessions so people can try new habits and see what helps in everyday life.

People who choose to work with her should expect straightforward conversation, skill practice, and collaborative planning. She frames herself as a teammate who stays present during the harder parts of change and helps people keep going when progress feels slow.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions

Gerri commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking actions that matter in spite of difficult emotions. It can help when anger gets in the way of what a person wants to stand for. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep reactions stuck. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for handling triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gerri discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods so they fit. That means trying a skill or short experiment, checking how it went, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one method throughout treatment.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping regular check-ins between work or family obligations, and practicing skills in real time between meetings. A therapist will also help choose practical session rhythms and exercises that can be used between appointments to make progress in everyday life.
