About Vincent

Vincent Dhan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Vincent aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous about taking the first step.

He creates a setting where clients can talk openly without fear of judgment. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps that fit daily life. Vincent listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of responding.

02

How Vincent works

His background includes four years of professional practice as an LCSW. That experience has included work with substance and process addictions, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and issues around guilt, shame, and impulsivity. He also addresses social anxiety, communication struggles, and struggles around life purpose.

Vincent uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, compulsive behaviors, and mood concerns. He encourages small experiments between sessions, like short behavior changes or communication attempts, so progress can be noticed outside the therapy hour. The pace is set by the client and guided by clear goals.

Sessions are offered in English and Vincent accepts international clients. He supports clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Approaches for online work with addiction and mood concerns

Vincent draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address compulsive behaviors and mood symptoms. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and compulsive urges. This method helps people notice what works in their daily routines and build steady momentum.

Another approach targets trauma and emotional regulation by teaching practical skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity. These skills include grounding strategies, breathing work, and step-by-step plans for responding differently to triggers. They are useful for people dealing with past abuse, shame, or strong guilt that affects daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Vincent will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjust plans as progress is seen. Together they set achievable steps and review what helps over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and closer interaction. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in quickly or process thoughts between sessions. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
