01About Dana
Dana O'Neill uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people find steadier footing in life. She draws on client-centered methods and skills-based therapies to help clients manage anxiety, build self-esteem, and clarify what they want from work and relationships.
Dana holds the LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and the LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience in a range of settings. In sessions she focuses on small, doable steps that add up.
Background and approach
Clients learn skills to handle intense emotions, reduce overthinking, and reconnect with their values. She pays attention to the body-mind link and teaches simple mindfulness exercises that fit into a busy day. Dana has worked in community, residential, and independent practice environments.
That variety shaped her skill set for issues such as stress, addiction, grief, and chronic illness. She also helps people facing identity questions, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and career uncertainty. Her approach combines talk therapy with practical skill building.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that hold people back. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools support emotion regulation and healthier interactions with others. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused.
Dana often pairs motivational interviewing with solution-focused planning to help clients take steps they can sustain. Over time the work aims to increase self-compassion, reduce avoidance, and help people create a life that feels meaningful. She offers services in Florida and conducts therapy in English.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

04Online support
Therapeutic skills you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist offers empathy and helps people find their own solutions, which suits work on self-esteem and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior; it teaches practical steps to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits useful for anxiety, career decisions, or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills to handle intense feelings and improve communication in relationships.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try strategies that match your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques over time so the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing contact between sessions and can help you practice skills or share quick updates. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, or health challenges while using the therapeutic tools described above.
