About Dominique
Dominique Caesar is an AASW social worker with eight years' experience supporting people in community, clinical and systemic settings. They are non-binary, trans, autistic and queer, and work with adults and young people who want support that respects their lived experience. Dominique lists LGBT, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, ADHD and grief among the concerns they work with.
Dominique offers telehealth support that draws on neuroaffirming care and peer connection. They focus on practical problem-solving and building self-advocacy skills. Sessions aim to help clients understand how they relate to the world and what nurtures them, rather than pathologising their responses.
Their background includes tenant advocacy, work with NDIS participants, and mentoring emerging social and peer workers. That advocacy experience colours how they work in sessions - paying attention to systems as well as personal struggles, and helping clients navigate complex services when needed.
Dominique often supports people exploring queer and gender diverse identities, neurodivergence, burnout and community or disability justice questions. They also list additional focus areas such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, BDSM and kink, gender dysphoria, and guilt and shame. Conversations commonly cover actionable steps, managing overwhelm, and building practical supports.
They describe their style as pragmatic and direct, with a willingness to notice details others miss. People meet with them to unpack systemic barriers, recover from burnout, or develop clearer strategies for everyday life. To begin, the site asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Dominique works with approaches that emphasise neuroaffirming care and practical problem-solving. Neuroaffirming care involves recognising neurodivergence in thinking and behaviour, and building supports that fit how someone actually experiences the world. It can help with burnout, self-advocacy and everyday organisation.They also centre peer connection and systemic awareness in their clinical work. Peer connection means using shared lived experience to reduce isolation and build coping strategies. System-focused work looks at the external barriers that contribute to distress and practical steps to navigate those systems, such as housing or disability supports.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominique collaborates with clients to identify what feels most useful based on individual goals, preferences and daily realities. They adjust methods over time so therapy stays relevant and actionable.
The biography indicates sessions are offered via telehealth; please confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, reduce travel time and allow quick check-ins when life is busy. They also support different communication styles, such as shorter problem-focused meetings or longer reflective sessions, depending on what the client needs.
