About Sean

Sean DiMaria is a licensed clinical social worker (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina who brings eight years of clinical experience to his psychotherapy work.

Background and approach

He helps people address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, family and parenting challenges, intimacy and relationship issues, sleep difficulties, anger, career stresses, and compassion fatigue. His practice also attends to complex themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues.

Sean weaves together several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside acceptance and commitment concepts, attachment-based ideas, client-centered principles, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.

He offers individual therapy, couples work, and support groups focused on self-care, parenting, and resilience, and he produces educational webinars and classes on topics like empathy and emotional health. His style emphasizes respect for individual, religious, and cultural differences while helping clients build practical strategies and insight to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

How evidence-informed approaches shape online therapy

Sean integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work to help clients build practical skills and clarify values. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and emotions while committing to actions that align with personal values, aiding people who struggle with avoidance, low motivation, or persistent worry.

He also uses attachment-informed ideas to explore relationship patterns and emotional bonds when relevant, helping clients understand how early relational experiences influence current connections and responses. Throughout the online process, the therapist treats finding the right approach as collaborative, working with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming a single path from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access that fits varied schedules and lifestyles. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care while living in or traveling through South Carolina.
