About Dima
Dima Vicital is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, mood concerns, and related challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild day-to-day coping.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused work to address symptoms and patterns. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, developing routines that reduce anxiety, or practicing skills to interrupt unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Dima pays attention to how family roles and parenting responsibilities affect daily life. She helps people who are juggling fertility concerns, pregnancy and childbirth issues, grief, or adjustments after medical changes such as traumatic brain injury. The aim is to make ordinary days more manageable and to increase confidence in handling relationships and responsibilities.
Sessions include concrete skill-building and short-term strategies alongside longer-term work when needed. She often breaks issues into small steps, practices skills together, and reviews what helps between visits. This hands-on focus aims to give tools that can be used right away at home or work.
Her background includes a decade of clinical work with a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. People who want clear, straightforward strategies for parenting stress, mood symptoms, or life transitions may find this style fits their needs.
How sessions work
How Dima uses CBT, DBT and trauma work online
CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions typically include setting small practice tasks, reviewing progress, and building step-by-step routines to lower anxiety or lift mood.DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone reacts under stress. In online DBT-informed sessions clients often learn breathing and grounding skills, distress-tolerance techniques, and ways to reduce impulsive behavior.
Trauma-focused therapy targets memories and reactions tied to past harm and teaches ways to reduce their ongoing impact. When used online it can combine paced processing with grounding and coping skills practice between visits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so a session can happen between other responsibilities.
