About Dima
Dima Vicital is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, grief, or life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and problems related to mood and attention.
Dima focuses on practical strategies clients can use between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people spot patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and build emotion-regulation skills. Mindfulness practices are used to improve present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Trauma-Focused Therapy is included when past events are maintaining current distress.
In sessions she talks through concrete steps for handling anger and frustration at work or home. She helps people practice new responses to triggers, manage impulsivity, and rebuild trust with themselves. Dima also addresses related concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and multicultural stressors.
Her background includes work with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, disruptive mood dysregulation patterns, and traumatic brain injury. She blends structured exercises with skills practice so clients leave with tools they can use right away.
Dima works in English and focuses her practice in New Jersey. She does not accept international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the practice portal.
How Dima’s approaches translate to online sessions
Dima commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce stress, anxiety, and anger. DBT emphasizes emotion-regulation skills, distress tolerance, and practical tools to manage intense feelings and impulsivity.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. When past events are central to a person’s difficulties, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address those memories and their effects on daily life. These approaches aim to give concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Dima will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. That includes discussing which skills to prioritize and how to practice them in everyday situations.
