About Dima
Dima Vicital is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She uses clear, skills-focused work in sessions. That can look like identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and building coping tools to use between meetings. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented so people leave with steps they can try right away.
Dima draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to change patterns of thinking and to teach emotion regulation skills. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice their reactions and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting present functioning. These methods are used to address symptoms and everyday problems rather than to promise a specific outcome.
She has worked with adults and adolescents on issues tied to life transitions, cognitive changes, and complex stressors. In appointments she focuses on concrete strategies for coping, managing mood, and improving day-to-day functioning. She explains techniques and helps people practice them during sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC scope of practice. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats. To begin, a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session are part of the intake process.
How Dima integrates therapy approaches online
Many sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and for managing symptoms day to day.Dialectical Behavior Therapy is also part of her approach and emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and using distress tolerance techniques. Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase present-moment awareness and to slow down habitual reactions, which can help with anxiety and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as therapy progresses. Clients are involved in choosing what to try and how to practice skills between sessions.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so readers should confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and let people practice skills in the environments where they live. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions match practical needs.
