About Dina
Dina Rogers is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, real-world support for parents and adults facing trauma, grief, and anger. She brings six years of hands-on experience to sessions and centers the conversation on each person's strengths and goals. Dina aims to make the first steps less overwhelming by offering steady guidance and clear next steps.
Her approach starts with listening closely to the client's story and asking what matters most right now.
Background and approach
She helps people sort through painful memories tied to trauma and abuse and learn ways to respond differently to anger and panic. For parents she addresses disruptive or unwanted behaviors by helping caregivers develop consistent responses and calmer routines. Dina uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping skills.
She also works with trauma-focused techniques and EMDR to reduce the intensity of distressing memories when appropriate. These tools are applied in simple, step-by-step ways that parents can practice between sessions. Clients can expect a collaborative pace: goals are set together and progress is tracked in straightforward terms.
Dina emphasizes practical strategies for handling grief, improving self-esteem, and repairing communication problems. The work usually focuses on skills you can use right away. Sessions aim to feel direct but compassionate.
Dina encourages questions and regular check-ins so people leave with concrete options, not just ideas. Her Tennessee-based practice centers on helping people regain a sense of control and move toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

Practical trauma-informed approaches for online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Dina uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and practice small behavior changes that reduce panic, shame, or shame-driven reactions.EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is used to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories. Sessions guide attention while recalling a memory so the emotional charge can lessen over time; it is often chosen when past events continue to cause strong reactions.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on recognizing how past hurts shape present responses. This work breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches coping skills that people can apply in daily life, such as grounding techniques and emotion regulation strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust plans as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and teaching skills, phone calls fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy caregivers and for scheduling around daily demands.
