About Dana
Dana Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can speak honestly and feel heard. Dana communicates in both English and Spanish to meet a wider range of needs.
Her style centers on listening first and then building practical steps together. Sessions focus on understanding recurring thoughts and emotions and on learning straightforward tools that fit daily life.
How Dana works
The emphasis is on small changes that add up over time. Dana also addresses life changes such as separation, redefining goals, and shifting family roles. She helps people deal with communication problems, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
Money and financial worries, along with issues of self-love and women’s concerns, are part of her work. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly. With three years of clinical experience, Dana uses approaches that are grounded in evidence and aimed at practical results.
She offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to therapist availability. The subscription model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Two common evidence-based techniques Dana uses focus on understanding thoughts and building coping skills. One approach helps people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then practice alternative ways of thinking. This method helps with stress, worry, and improving mood. Another technique concentrates on skill-building for managing strong emotions and improving daily routines. It includes practical exercises people can try between sessions to reduce overwhelm and increase stability.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dana collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people juggling busy days. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, and flexible communication when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and adapt it to everyday life.
