How Dana works
Much of the work looks at what can be controlled and what cannot, and then creates realistic habits that move life in a better direction. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Dr.
Scoville helps people identify strengths, set small achievable goals, and practice new ways of coping between sessions. She describes mental health as a continuum and works with clients to shift toward more optimal functioning over time. Therapy with her often includes mindfulness exercises, thought-focused strategies, and short-term problem solving.
These techniques are used to manage anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, and self-esteem struggles. The emphasis is on skills people can use in daily life, not quick fixes. Dr.
Scoville encourages making lifestyle adjustments that fit each person's abilities and situation. Her style is collaborative - she helps people examine their routines and build sustainable changes that support long-term well-being.

How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting hooked by them, then clarify personal values and take committed action toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what helps most and what fits a person's life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or reduce bandwidth needs, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or writing out thoughts outside session times. These options make it easier to use therapeutic skills consistently while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
