About Dhana
Dhana Clarkson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life changes.
Clarkson uses a practical, problem-solving approach. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing different ways of responding in daily life.
She combines techniques from several approaches rather than relying on a single model. That means work can include skill practice, short behavioral experiments, and talking through how past relationships shape current reactions. She also pays attention to physical health and how it affects mood and coping.
Clarkson can discuss presenting issues from a Christian faith perspective when clients want that included. She frames therapy as collaborative - setting goals, trying small changes, and checking what helps.
People who choose her often want straightforward, structured help for specific problems. She aims for clear steps you can try between sessions and regular review of progress and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. In practice this means looking at patterns in close relationships, noticing triggers, and trying new ways to respond. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often uses short experiments and homework to change how situations are handled. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being listened to and having a space to talk through concerns while the therapist follows the client’s lead.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed. That can mean using more CBT for specific anxiety symptoms or leaning on attachment ideas for relationship patterns.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow straightforward practice of mindfulness or CBT exercises between sessions so techniques can be tested in real life.
