About Mark
Mark Dominguez is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses issues like abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Mark focuses on creating a setting where people can talk openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. He aims to reduce judgment so clients can say what they’ve been holding back. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with attention to what feels most urgent for the person in front of him.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, such as communication habits or self-critical thinking. He works with clients to try clearer ways of speaking, setting boundaries, and making decisions that match personal values. This can include short-term goals and simple exercises to practice between meetings.
Mark draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and relationship problems. He encourages small, doable steps rather than big overhauls. The approach is collaborative: he helps clients test what works and adjust as needed.
For people carrying guilt or shame about past actions or identity, he talks through where those feelings come from and how they affect daily life. He supports clients weighing options like forgiveness, making amends, or changing future behavior. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common threads in his work.
Approaches to guilt, shame, and relationship strain online
Mark uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-style work that helps people notice and test negative self-beliefs. This method breaks down self-critical thoughts into specific prompts and small experiments to prove or disprove them, which can reduce the power of guilt-driven thinking.Another frequently used method targets trauma-related responses by helping clients track bodily and emotional reactions to reminders of past harm. The work aims to increase tolerance for distressing memories while teaching skills to regulate strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. Together they try techniques, review what helped, and shift course when needed so the work stays useful and manageable.
