About Dina

LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with four years of clinical experience. Dina Derilas focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. She works with people who are dealing with control issues, separation or divorce, feelings of guilt or shame, isolation, and panic symptoms.

Dina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and treats clients as the experts on their own stories. Sessions are practical and focused on what the person wants to change. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding.

In sessions Dina helps people name what is getting in the way and test small changes that can make daily life easier. She offers straightforward guidance and reflects back what she hears so clients can see options more clearly. Work can include managing panic, reducing social anxiety, or processing traumatic experiences to reduce their hold over daily life.

Her approach balances problem-solving with paying attention to emotions and relationships. Dina supports people through major life transitions like divorce or questions about life purpose. She also addresses complex feelings such as shame, guilt, and the need for self-acceptance.

People who contact her will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Evidence-based techniques are central to her work. One common approach focuses on recognizing and changing patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anxiety and panic. This helps people reduce immediate symptoms and try new ways of responding in daily situations. Another approach centers on processing traumatic events in a paced way so memories feel less overwhelming. That method is used to reduce the intensity of post-traumatic stress and to improve functioning in relationships and routine activities. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and adjust techniques based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking how they feel, and shifting direction if something is not helping. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have consistent check-ins, allow shorter meetings when needed, and accommodate people who are working or traveling.
