Approaches that guide online sessions
Dina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One approach emphasizes learning concrete skills to manage intense emotions like anger and anxiety, teaching coping strategies and steps to reduce reactivity. Another approach centers on processing past hurts and trauma in manageable pieces, helping people make sense of difficult experiences and reduce their impact on daily life.Choosing the best approach is part of the work with the therapist. Dina will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She treats the selection of techniques as a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth discussion and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
