I am a Clinical therapist licensed in Ohio with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is compassionate, non-judgmental and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, mindfulness based cognitive therapy along with grief and humanistic therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’m almost 60 and have used therapist in my past for various hurdles in my life. Dina is the best therapist I’ve ever worked with!
I'm so happy I got matched with Dina. She has helped me as I go through a very difficult and challenging time in my life. She asks good questions and makes me think about things from different perspectives.
she really knows whats going on, obviously she has a lot of experience and skills to help women in bad situations.
Excellent analytical skills and you really feel listened to and understood. I need to feel like my therapist is smarter than me, and I know that as long as I’m honest and open, I couldn’t get anything past her. She lets you speak your mind and can pick apart what you communicate in a thorough and understandable, honest and gentle way which is what I value in a therapist. I recommend Dina 100%
