01About Dana
Dana Boyles is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor in Texas who combines practical problem-solving with a family-systems view. She draws on methods that help people make clear changes in parenting, relationships, and daily routines. Dana focuses on strengths and small steps that build confidence and organization over time.
She has about 20 years of professional experience supporting concerns such as parenting, self-esteem, ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also works with young adult issues and relationship difficulties. Her style aims to be warm and accepting while keeping goals in view. In sessions she often uses solution-focused ideas to identify what a person wants to be different, then maps simple actions toward that goal.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot patterns in thinking and behavior and to try out new strategies. Internal Family Systems helps people notice inner parts and how those parts affect choices and relationships. Dana respects each person’s background and beliefs and can include spiritual perspectives when clients want that component.
She matches interventions to the pace a person prefers, rolling up her sleeves to work through practical steps. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Clients can expect clear, straightforward conversation about goals, specific strategies to try between sessions, and attention to personal strengths.
Dana’s approach centers on helping people grow skills for lasting change and increased wellbeing.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online change
Dana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people make concrete changes. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what someone wants to be different and builds simple steps that move toward that goal.She also uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice different inner parts and understand how those parts influence choices and relationships. Together these approaches give tools for thinking differently, acting differently, and settling internal conflicts that get in the way of progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dana will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed based on what is helping.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit work into a busy life. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility for people juggling parenting, work, or school while still getting regular support.
