About Dhaima

Dhaima Chin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings seven years of experience to her practice in Florida. She works in a straightforward, goal-oriented way. Parents and adults often seek her out for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, and life changes.

Dhaima uses clear tools to help people set goals and make small, manageable changes. She trained at Florida Atlantic University where she earned her master’s degree. Dhaima combines solution-focused methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills.

Background and approach

That mix helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and build simple routines that reduce stress. In sessions she keeps the work practical. Conversations focus on what is working and what can change next.

She guides people to identify problems, test new approaches, and strengthen skills that help day-to-day life and parenting challenges. Her credentials include LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Dhaima offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. Dhaima aims to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can try new strategies and regain a sense of direction.

Practical approaches for online therapy and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals, which can be useful when sorting parenting priorities or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It helps people try new thinking patterns and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve daily routines.

Dhaima treats the choice of approach as a team decision. She will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. Adjustments are normal and the approach can be refined as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around family life, work, and caregiving duties. They also let people practice new skills between meetings and keep momentum when life is busy.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
