Dimica Lawrence

Dimica is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been working with adults, couples, and families for several years. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in social work from East Carolina University, she went on to complete her Master’s of social work at North Carolina State University by way of their Advanced Standing Program.

Dimica likes to consider herself a “relational therapist” who enjoys working with individuals, pairs, and groups to move toward awareness of relationship patterns and deeper connections. Dimica also has an interest in supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, emotional disturbances, shame/guilt, and ineffective communication styles. Dimica is aligned with the LGBTQIA+ community and strives to remain informed and socially conscious. Her clinical perspective is heavily framed by Emotionally Focused Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Somatic Attachment Experiencing. She is always making it a priority to learn. Presently, she’s increasing her knowledge about communicating and interacting with character disturbances.

Through both personal and professional experiences, Dimica has cultivated a flexible and shameless approach; always meeting clients where they are in their process. Dimica allows her clients to lead their journey of mental and emotional wellness while she walks beside them. She believes that the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative effort, knowing that clients are the experts of their own lives and relationships. Through the provision of psycho-education and incorporating appropriate evidence-based practices, she strives to help clients increase their self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal effectiveness. Emphasizing motivational interviewing and a strengths-based approach, Dimica supports her clients in experiencing their own power within their lives.
