About Dana
Dana O'Neill uses a blend of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She draws on nine years of experience to offer calm, practical guidance for everyday struggles. Dana speaks plainly and focuses on small steps that add up over time.
Many people come because their self-esteem has taken a hit. Others want help with anxiety, stress, or finding meaning after big life changes.
How Dana works
Dana also supports people dealing with relationship strains, parenting challenges, eating concerns, substance issues, and the emotional toll of caregiving and chronic illness. Sessions focus on learning skills that make daily life more manageable. Cognitive behavioral techniques uncover patterns that get in the way of goals.
Mindfulness practices help reconnect the body and mind so emotions feel less overwhelming. Dana uses a client-centered stance to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are woven in to set realistic goals and build momentum.
She encourages practical experiments between sessions so progress shows up in real life. She has worked across community, residential, and independent practice settings, bringing varied clinical experience to each meeting. Dana holds an LCPC and an LMHC and practices in Florida.
Sessions are offered in English and through online formats to fit different schedules.

How Dana’s Approaches Work Online
Dana often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new ways of reacting, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness practices teach simple body awareness and breathing skills that reduce emotional reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for a deeper conversational feel, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to speak or who want flexible, ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to practice skills consistently.
