About Sean
Sean DiMaria is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina. He has eight years of clinical experience in mental health care. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues related to ADHD and addiction.
Sean works with individuals across a wide range of life concerns, including family dynamics, caregiving burdens, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, and career stress. He also addresses deeper themes such as attachment and family-of-origin difficulties, abandonment, and feelings of emptiness. His practice includes support around substance use and relapse concerns as part of addiction work.
His style is practical and skills-oriented. Sessions often focus on clearer thinking, behavior changes, and ways to tolerate strong emotions without acting on them. He draws on several approaches to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works over time.
Sean blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. He also runs group sessions and educational webinars on topics such as resilience and empathy. These groups look at concrete skills for coping and better communication.
He acknowledges individual religious and cultural differences and factors those into treatment planning. People who want to begin are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process to book a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with persistent anger, avoidance, and motivation problems by building psychological flexibility.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches skills for spotting unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking results, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method up front.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also makes group classes and webinars more accessible for people who benefit from skills training alongside individual sessions.
