About Dimas

Dr. Dimas Tollinchi-Castro is a clinical social worker with twenty years of practice. He holds a Doctor of Social Work and lists LCSW as his credential.

He works from New York and communicates in English and Spanish. He focuses on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and depression. He also pays attention to attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

Background and approach

Short-term worries like panic attacks and social anxiety are part of his caseload as well. In sessions he listens for patterns that keep people stuck. He helps clients name painful feelings and link them to everyday choices.

Conversations are practical; he and the client set small goals and try out new ways of coping between meetings. Progress is tracked in simple terms so people can see change. He brings a culturally responsive perspective shaped by mixed heritage and life in New York.

That background informs how he understands social pressures and identity in therapy. Education from New York University, Adelphi University, and Long Island University is part of his professional story. People who choose him often want steady, experienced guidance for persistent problems.

He aims to create a respectful, direct space where clients can address shame, loneliness, life purpose, and recovery from trauma. Services are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Dr. Tollinchi-Castro uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety and depression. It supports steps like testing worries, learning new responses, and practicing them in daily life.

Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and traumatic memories in manageable ways so symptoms like panic, hypervigilance, and avoidance decrease. Work is paced to match how much someone can handle and often includes grounding exercises and skills to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work itself. He collaborates with each person to choose what fits best based on their goals, background, and comfort level. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what helps most.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to maintain therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
