About Dana
Dana Brouca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with ten years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and depression. She also works with clients facing life transitions and offers support for trauma, grief, anger, self-esteem, and career challenges.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered methods to follow the person's priorities and motivational interviewing to support changes someone wants to make. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long explanations.
Dana has worked in clinical settings for a decade and applies that experience to common, everyday problems. She helps people break worries into manageable parts and practices new skills between sessions. Simple exercises and short experiments are common features of her work.
Her background includes supporting people with issues related to aging, caregiving stress, cancer, money and employment worries, and relationship problems such as divorce, infidelity, and communication breakdowns. She also lists experience with bipolar concerns and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect the concerns clients bring most often. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and any administrative details. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step guide the first meeting.
How Dana Uses Structured Approaches in Online Sessions
Dana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that keep problems going and to practice alternative responses. CBT sessions tend to be focused and action-oriented, which can suit worries, anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace. That approach helps when someone needs space to clarify goals and make decisions. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she uses to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and support mood regulation.
Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and practical needs. The plan can change over time as things improve or new concerns emerge.
