Dina Rogers, LCSW

Dina Rogers is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience helping people manage trauma, grief, parenting stresses, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She uses straightforward, practical steps to help clients gain control over overwhelming feelings. Dina emphasizes strengths and works with people to build on what already helps them move forward.

She relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable pieces. She also draws on trauma-focused methods and EMDR when trauma or painful memories are central to the struggle. Dina explains approaches plainly and adapts them to each person's needs.

Sessions often focus on short-term goals, skill-building, and real-life practice between meetings. Parents receive help managing disruptive behaviors and setting routines that reduce stress at home. For grief and loss, Dina offers steady support while helping people find ways to remember and adjust.

Her style is collaborative and respectful; she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Dina helps people identify small changes that lead to clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Progress is paced to each person's comfort.

She provides services from Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. Dina encourages people to take the first step when they are ready and will guide them through scheduling and the early planning process.

Using CBT and trauma approaches online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. In online sessions this often means practicing new ways of thinking and behavior during the week and reviewing results together. EMDR helps reduce the distress tied to traumatic memories through guided processing; online EMDR sessions use adapted protocols to support memory processing and symptom relief.

Dina treats the selection of an approach as a collaborative decision. She will talk with a person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest whether CBT, EMDR, or trauma-focused work seems most helpful. Together they adjust pace and techniques so therapy fits the person's needs and comfort level.

Offering video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging gives flexibility for different rhythms and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills training and EMDR work, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins and between-session practice. These options help make therapy easier to fit into daily life and ongoing recovery.
