About Dina
Dina Nasry-Aperocho is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and addiction-related concerns. She focuses on practical issues like communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and finding life purpose.
Dina also helps with guilt and shame, forgiveness, panic attacks, trauma recovery, and challenges around divorce and separation. Financial stress and impulsivity are part of her practice as well.
How Dina works
Dina aims to meet people where they are. She listens for each person’s values, faith, and what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize building clearer connections with oneself and with others.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She uses methods that target thoughts, behaviors, emotional regulation, and motivation to change. Treatment is shaped around goals the person brings to therapy.
Dina tries to create a warm, honest space where people feel heard and accepted. Conversations move at a practical pace, with concrete skills and steps to try between sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process toward healing and growth.
People who want straightforward, values-attentive support often find her approach useful. She works in California and conducts sessions in English.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Dina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dina collaborates with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. She adjusts techniques as progress is made or priorities change.
If you want online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is available. Many people appreciate online options because they can fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school schedules, shorten commute time, and make it easier to attend consistently. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight and offer choices about being on camera or not depending on comfort and bandwidth.
