About Dina
Dina Vitorino is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and family concerns. Dina uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way day to day.
She works with each person to set clear, achievable goals and to build small skills that make a difference. Sessions are tailored to what the individual needs in the moment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
How Dina works
She also brings experience supporting people who have intellectual disability and adjusts pacing and language accordingly. That means more concrete steps, more repetition when needed, and checking in often to make sure things are clear. Dina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what is hard and try out new ways of coping. Clients will find collaborative goal-setting and practical strategies to manage symptoms and build confidence. Dina frames change as a process and offers steady support while people take the steps toward a more fulfilling life.

How Dina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Dina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and clear goals. One common approach emphasizes step-by-step coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach centers on mood-focused work for depression, breaking down large problems into manageable steps and scheduling small activities to rebuild motivation and confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dina will talk with each person about their concerns, preferences, and goals, and together they will decide which techniques to try first. She adjusts pacing and language so the plan fits the individual’s needs and checks progress as therapy continues.
Online therapy with Dina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging is helpful for ongoing reminders and quick reflections between sessions.
