About Dhaima
Dhaima Chin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with seven years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, and life changes. Dhaima also supports people dealing with parenting concerns, career questions, and issues around self-esteem and coping skills.
She uses straightforward, problem-focused therapy to help people identify what they want to change. Dhaima draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to clarify goals and build on practical strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and Mindfulness Therapy to help manage strong emotions in the moment.
Sessions are aimed at identifying the immediate problem and trying steps that make daily life easier. Dhaima emphasizes short-term strategies people can use between sessions. She offers coaching-style support for decisions about work, relationships, and parenting when that is helpful.
Her approach is direct and pragmatic. Clients work on specific behaviors and thinking patterns. They practice small experiments that test new responses to stress and anger.
Dhaima trained at Florida Atlantic University, where she completed her master’s degree in social work. She now runs a private practice in Florida and blends brief, action-focused methods with thought-focused techniques. The focus is on clear goals, usable skills, and steady progress rather than lengthy theory.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the client. The therapist follows the client's concerns and helps them set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dhaima will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That could mean trying brief, solution-focused steps first, then adding CBT or mindfulness tools if helpful. The choice is guided by what the client wants to change and how they respond to initial work.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Different approaches translate well to remote work: goal-focused tasks and behavioral experiments can be assigned between sessions, thought records can be reviewed together, and mindfulness exercises can be practiced during a video or phone meeting. Licensed professionals can help adapt these methods to each person's routine.
