About Dina
Dina Velazquez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina. She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on each person's experience and strengths. Dina aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk about what feels hard and start making small changes.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns get in the way of day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and Jungian ideas help some clients connect with values, meaning, and personal patterns. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. She also helps people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, social anxiety, panic, emptiness, and issues related to women's lives and LGBT concerns.
Dina has five years of clinical experience and has worked in community mental health and assessment roles. She aims to match practical skills with each person's goals, using brief interventions when helpful and deeper exploration when needed. Sessions are offered in English.
People can expect straightforward talk, exercises to practice between sessions, and a collaborative plan that fits everyday life.

Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Dina often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy depending on the person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person, helping them set goals and move at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps find methods that fit the client's life and preferences rather than forcing one way of working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins or ongoing written work between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
