Dr. Dominique Johns, DSW

Psychotherapist
IL
My ideal client is someone feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, life changes, or work stress while struggling to balance personal and professional demands. They seek relief from constant stress, clarity in transitions, and practical tools to manage emotions. Their goal is to feel more grounded, balanced, and authentic moving beyond “just getting by” to living a fulfilling life. What they truly want is to feel seen, understood, and supported as they navigate challenges, believing change is possible with the right space, tools, and partnership to find hope, empowerment, and meaning. I help by creating a supportive space where you feel understood and empowered. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and work stress. Using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and strength-based strategies, I offer tools to manage emotions, build resilience, and move toward a balanced, authentic life. I know how overwhelming it can feel to carry so much on your own, and you don’t have to go through it by yourself. Therapy is a space where you can feel seen, supported, and safe to explore your challenges at your own pace. If you’re ready to take that next step toward healing and balance, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered. With over 10 years of experience, I help individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and work-related stress. My approach blends evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and strength-based strategies to help clients regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and build resilience. Sessions are both reflective and practical, offering tools you can use in daily life. I believe therapy is a partnership, and I meet clients where they are, moving at a pace that feels safe and supportive. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, balanced, and authentic—moving beyond just getting by toward meaningful change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first session focuses on understanding your concerns, goals, and what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask thoughtful questions while creating a safe, supportive space for you to share at your own pace. Ongoing sessions are collaborative and may include talk therapy, skill-building, to help manage emotions and reduce stress. I do not prescribe medication; my work focuses on talk therapy and evidence-based techniques to support healing, balance, and growth.
