Dina Vineberg

Dina Vineberg is a counselor who uses a person-centered approach to support people facing major life changes. She brings warmth, compassion, and a gentle sense of humor to sessions. Dina aims to help people reduce anxiety and find ways to cope with grief, relationship strain, and other stressful transitions.

She holds dual licenses as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and has six years of experience in formal counseling roles. Before earning those licenses, Dina spent about twenty years in direct support positions. That work included counseling adolescents in schools and foster care, helping people who were newly homeless, supporting pregnant women affected by domestic violence, and assisting adults in hospital care.

Dina has also worked with elderly clients in adult care settings and staffed crisis and text lines. Those roles shaped how she responds to trauma, loss, and sudden life shifts. She notes personal experience with family losses to depression and says that has deepened her commitment to help others recover strength and resilience.

In sessions she focuses on listening first, then helping people name what matters. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, bipolar challenges, career questions, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and non-monogamous relationship topics. Dina also offers coaching-style support for people navigating transitions.

Outside work she values time in nature and caring for rescued animals. She invites people to share their story and explore practical ways to manage life changes together.

How client-centered care adapts to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. The therapist offers a supportive setting that helps people talk through grief, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life changes. This approach emphasizes the person's own goals and pace rather than imposing a rigid plan.

Because Dina emphasizes warmth and genuine connection, she adapts client-centered work to the rhythms of each session. That can mean spending time building trust, reflecting back what someone says, and helping them identify small steps toward resilience. These methods are useful for processing loss, managing stress, and navigating transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dina works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in about what is or isn't working and adjust the focus over time.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins between appointments. They also let people meet with licensed professionals from other locations when international arrangements are appropriate.
