About Dana
Dana O'Neill is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of experience based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, parenting concerns, addictions, and other life changes clients bring to therapy. Dana speaks English and works with adults on practical struggles like motivation, overwhelm, and figuring out life direction.
Dana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change habits. She also draws on client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to support goal-setting and decision-making. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies - clearer thinking, emotion regulation skills, and small behavioral changes that fit daily life.
Her background includes work in community, residential, and private practice settings. That mix of settings informs a direct, skills-focused approach for problems such as anxiety, body image and eating issues, substance use concerns, and caregiving stress. She highlights attention to the mind-body connection when addressing weight, chronic illness, or fatigue related issues.
Dana helps with interpersonal problems like communication breakdowns, jealousy, infidelity, and intimacy-related concerns by teaching practical interaction and boundary skills. She also supports people dealing with grief, career uncertainty, ADHD-related challenges, and questions about life purpose.
People who come to her should expect clear, structured sessions that practice new responses and build coping skills. To start clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options provided.
How Dana integrates CBT, DBT and mindfulness online
Online sessions with Dana draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. DBT provides concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to handle intense feelings and relationship conflicts. Mindfulness work centers on noticing bodily cues and present-moment sensations to calm stress and support self-care.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Dana collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts exercises and homework to match what clients want to change and what they can realistically practice between sessions.
The original biography did not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling work around childcare or job breaks. Licensed professionals can guide how skills practice will move from the session into everyday routines, helping clients apply CBT, DBT and mindfulness where it matters most.
