About Dimas
Dr. Dimas Tollinchi-Castro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 20 years of practice. He offers therapy in English and Spanish and focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. Conversations center on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. He pays attention to cultural background and to how daily life - work, family, money, and community - affects mental health.
In session he helps people name patterns, reduce overwhelm, and build concrete coping steps. That may include working on worry and panic, managing mood symptoms, addressing post-traumatic stress, or handling difficulties around communication and attachment. He also addresses concerns about body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and caregiver stress.
Dr. Tollinchi-Castro trained at New York University, Adelphi University, and Long Island University. He describes his work as patient-centered and shaped by social justice principles. That means discussions often consider systems, culture, and practical barriers alongside personal goals.
Sessions typically include direct conversation, problem-solving, and planning small experiments to try between meetings. People who prefer straightforward, task-focused sessions that still attend to cultural context often find this approach useful.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Dr. Tollinchi-Castro works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and panic management, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral changes to reduce immediate distress. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories at a manageable pace and develop strategies to reduce reactivity and avoidant behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and may be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit care into busy lives. Online work can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make scheduling across the workday simpler. Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
