About Dina
Dina Derilas is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and depression. She speaks English and works with clients who want to address control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety.
Dina frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes. Sessions aim to help people gain clearer perspective and manageable strategies for day-to-day life.
Her approach is collaborative and encouraging. Dina helps people identify small changes that lead to less overwhelm and more confidence. She focuses on what people can do between sessions as well as what they talk about in the room.
Dina has four years of professional experience as a mental health therapist and holds the LMHC credential, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. That background shapes how she balances structure with empathy during sessions.
People often come for relief from anxiety and stress, to work through past trauma, or to untangle recurring relationship and family patterns. Dina supports those goals with patient guidance and concrete tools, helping them move toward clearer decisions and steadier emotional footing.
How evidence-based techniques guide online work
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing day-to-day patterns and building coping skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different, more balanced ways of thinking. That work can reduce anxiety and social fears by teaching specific steps to test and change negative thoughts.Trauma-informed approaches focus on safety, pacing, and grounding skills. These approaches help people who have experienced abuse or post-traumatic stress to manage intense reactions and gradually process difficult memories without feeling overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain different options, and work with you to choose techniques that fit your situation. Changes are made together as you notice what helps and what needs adjusting.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Ask which formats are available and what works best for shorter check-ins, longer therapy sessions, or times when you prefer not to be on camera. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule, reduce travel time, and allow more frequent check-ins when life gets intense.
