Dima Vicital, LPC

Dima Vicital is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build useful habits for daily life.

She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She also helps people managing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and mood differences that get in the way of everyday functioning.

Her approach is collaborative and strength-focused. Sessions aim to build coping tools, improve emotional regulation, and reduce unhelpful thinking. She uses straightforward strategies so people can apply what they learn between sessions.

Dima brings ten years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in New Jersey and Michigan. She pays attention to cultural context and can help with multicultural concerns, women’s issues, fertility-related stress, and challenges tied to parenting and family dynamics.

Practical work might include skill practice from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness exercises to manage intense emotions, and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and paced to fit real life demands.

She provides online sessions by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online approaches that build skills and manage emotions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily problems where thinking and behavior keep difficulties going.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming, when impulsivity causes problems, or when relationships create repeated conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skill teaching, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins, homework coordination, or between-session encouragement. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when schedules or locations change.
