About

About Dhaima

Dhaima Chin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She communicates plainly and aims to make therapy understandable and useful for busy adults. Dhaima works from Florida and conducts sessions in English.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and build a working relationship that fits each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her practice too; that approach looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and then tests practical changes.

Background and approach

Solution-Focused Therapy appears often in her work to set clear, achievable goals and focus on what clients want to change sooner rather than later. Dhaima draws on these approaches to address relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, and the stresses of caregiving or life transitions.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Sessions can include direct problem-solving, skill practice, and brief check-ins to track progress. Her background includes a master’s degree from Florida Atlantic University and independent practice experience.

As a clinician she prioritizes practical tools over jargon, so parents and professionals can use what they learn right away. The focus is on usable steps that fit daily life. To begin, clients follow a simple matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their needs.

Dhaima frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at finding realistic strategies and restoring a sense of direction.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and building an honest working relationship. Online sessions still prioritize being heard and understood, with the therapist reflecting concerns and helping people set their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often uses homework, thought records, and short practice exercises that fit into daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dhaima will collaborate with each person to test methods, adjust strategies, and settle on what feels most helpful. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and shifting focus based on goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, and when written reflection feels easier. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to use therapy tools between meetings.
