Getting to know Dina Derilas

I have 7 years of experience working with people struggling with anxiety and depression. I help my clients find out what triggers their symptoms, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build coping skills. I mainly use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people face their fears, lower stress, and function better in daily life. I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills for managing strong emotions, handling distress without acting impulsively, and changing anxious thought patterns.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I still feel a flutter of nerves when I first meet a client, but those nerves fuel my determination to advocate for them. Building a strong, trusting relationship is at the heart of my work, because real change only happens when we connect. I make it a point to be there for my clients, whether by text, email, or a call. Every day, I remind them that while I value healthy boundaries, I am always close by and ready to support them, especially in times of crisis.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming at first, but if you are ready for change, I am here to help you reach your goals. My goal is to support you in building a fulfilling life. You do not have to face challenges alone; change is possible, and you can find the fulfillment you seek.
