About Danica
Danica Bokal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, career change, identity concerns, trauma, and other life transitions. Danica also notes experience with LGBT concerns and issues often raised by women and men in therapy.
She treats each person as an individual and asks practical questions to learn what is happening now. Sessions use evidence-based methods aimed at concrete goals. Danica combines teaching about how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings with hands-on practice clients can try between meetings.
Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of attachment-focused and client-centered practice. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed. The emphasis is on noticing unhelpful patterns, testing new responses, and building simple skills that fit day-to-day life.
Clients can expect an active, directive style that includes education and in-session practice. The therapist helps people set small, achievable targets and tracks progress across sessions. This approach is practical and focused on changing habits that keep problems going.
Danica lists additional focus areas including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, parenting strain, and a variety of attachment and relationship patterns. She sees international clients and conducts work from her Florida practice.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work in Remote Sessions
Clients will encounter straightforward CBT work online, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in everyday settings. CBT exercises often include brief between-session tasks and in-session role practice to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build willingness to face difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations and responses, and it guides new ways of relating to others and to oneself.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is tracked.
