Dhienica Charles, LMHC — Therapist in Rhode Island

Hi there, I'm Dhienica!

I am a licensed mental health therapist providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space for young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and related concerns. My collaborative approach focuses on building coping skills, self-awareness, and meaningful growth.

My focus

I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. I support individuals who feel overwhelmed or emotionally stuck by helping them build coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and develop greater stability, resilience, and confidence through a supportive, collaborative approach.

My approach

I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT and mindfulness, tailored to each client’s needs. I focus on building a trusting, supportive therapeutic relationship while helping clients develop coping skills, identify strengths, and improve emotional well-being and self-awareness.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I aim to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable sharing openly. I balance empathy with gentle guidance, offering clear feedback and practical support while meeting clients at their own pace throughout treatment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider was driven by a passion for supporting others through emotional challenges and life transitions. Through my training and clinical experience, I developed a strong commitment to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by collaboratively setting realistic, individualized plans. Using evidence-based strategies, I support skill-building, increased self-awareness, and applying tools outside of sessions, while regularly reviewing progress to ensure goals remain aligned with each client’s needs.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space focused on building trust and comfort. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and move at a pace that feels right for you. This initial meeting sets the foundation for a collaborative and supportive therapeutic process.
