About Dana
Dana Cila is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three years of practice experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, career stress, anger, depression, and postpartum depression. Dana speaks English and practices from Florida.
Dana uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels unhelpful and what can change. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps - noticing thought patterns, testing small behavior changes, and tracking what helps. She aims to keep things practical and easy to follow between appointments.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy techniques to listen, reflect, and let the client lead where possible. Together these approaches support clearer goals and measurable steps toward them.
In early sessions she typically clarifies priorities and helps set short-term goals. Later sessions review progress, troubleshoot obstacles, and adjust strategies. She can help people manage daily stress, improve mood, and address conflicts that affect work or family life.
Dana asks clients to be active in the process - trying new behaviors and reporting back what changed. The practical focus is on small, repeatable actions that fit into everyday life. To begin, clients follow the site matching steps and schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How Dana integrates CBT and client-centered care online
Online sessions with Dana will draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and managing anger.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection. Sessions using this approach let the client set priorities while the therapist reflects and clarifies. That method helps people feel heard and keeps goals driven by what matters to them.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques to try first, adjusting based on progress, goals, and preferences. The aim is to pick clear, doable steps and review results together.
The site describes how to begin with a matching questionnaire and scheduling. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people check in from a quieter location or during a work break. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday life.
