Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Dina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in online work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be practiced during video or phone sessions and reviewed over messages. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and managing conflict through specific skills that can be demonstrated and rehearsed in real time on a video call.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach grounding and breath-based tools that are easy to practice between sessions. Choosing which approach to prioritize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful and doable for the person seeking help.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for skill demonstration and more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, tracking homework, or getting feedback between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work, school, and family commitments.
