01About Heather
Heather Dominguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska with 26 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and has worked in a range of settings across the United States. Heather aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on practical next steps for daily life.
Heather uses clear, direct conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, sleep or eating concerns, caregiver strain, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on learning tools you can try between meetings. Her background includes work in parenting programs and itinerant therapy in rural Alaska, including crisis counseling and support for first responders and bereaved family members. That experience shapes how she approaches sudden loss, trauma, and high-stress work environments.
Clinically she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness approaches. Those tools are used to help people change unhelpful patterns, process difficult memories, and build coping skills that fit everyday routines. Heather describes herself as grounded and direct, and she respects each person's beliefs while not imposing her own.
She aims to help people find balance, regain functioning after setbacks, and reconnect with what matters to them. To begin, she invites people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and a plan are discussed.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online healing
Heather commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical ways to notice thoughts without getting stuck on them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and building coping skills that improve daily routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then recommend methods to try. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversations and EMDR work, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with different schedules and needs.
