About Dana
Dana Brouca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. She brings ten years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Dana emphasizes a respectful, person-centered approach so clients can feel heard and understood.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage emotions and solve problems. Sessions often include practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and brief, goal-focused techniques to address immediate concerns.
How Dana works
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help reduce reactivity and increase calm. Dana also works with people coping with life transitions, grief, trauma, caregiving strain, and issues related to aging or serious illness. She addresses challenges such as anger, self-esteem, career worries, and financial stress in clear, step-by-step conversations.
Her background includes supporting those affected by infidelity, divorce, and military-related matters listed among her focus areas. In sessions she listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in a person’s life. She uses motivational interviewing to help clients find internal reasons to change and psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring patterns.
Together this helps people make practical shifts and meet their goals. Dana offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How Dana’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Dana listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to identify goals and strengths that can support change. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by offering clear skills to practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dana will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and try methods that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new issues arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging can fit moments between work or caregiving tasks. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
