About Heather

Heather Dominguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska with 26 years of clinical experience. She has worked with diverse populations across the United States and has focused much of her recent practice in Alaska, where she has lived since 2013. Early in her Alaskan work she served as a Parenting with Love and Limits therapist, helping families rebuild healthy relationships, and more recently she spent four years working as an itinerant therapist in the North West Arctic.

Her clinical background encompasses vocational counseling, crisis intervention, trauma work, chemical dependency support, grief and loss counseling, family therapy, and spiritual matters. That experience has included crisis counseling for first responders and bereaved family members following unexpected tragedies. She is certified in EMDR, a trauma-focused therapy that uses structured eye movement techniques to help process distressing memories. Heather also integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness into her practice.

Heather holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and she maintains proficiency in Spanish. She identifies as a woman of Faith but does not impose her values on others. Heather approaches therapy with respect for the courage it takes to seek help and aims to support individuals and families in finding balance and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Heather integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate stress, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. EMDR is a trauma-focused method Heather is certified in that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan over time as progress is made. The therapist-client relationship guides how treatments are blended and applied.

Online therapy with Heather is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from remote locations or during busy seasons of life while maintaining continuity of care and regular therapeutic work.
