About Dana
Dana O'Neill LCPC, LMHC focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. She writes in plain terms and helps clients build self-worth, manage strong emotions, and find more meaning in daily life. Dana emphasizes skills you can use between sessions so change feels noticeable and steady.
She draws on client-centered work to prioritize each person’s goals and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices help with emotion regulation and staying present in hard moments. Over nine years she has worked in community, residential, and independent practice settings across Florida. That range gave her experience with anxiety, stress, grief, identity concerns, addictions, and challenges around intimacy and relationships.
She also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life-purpose questions. Sessions focus on clear, teachable strategies - short experiments, skills practice, and honest conversation about what’s getting in the way. Dana frames change as a step-by-step process and encourages realistic goals that fit daily routines.
She offers online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to match different schedules and needs. Sessions are delivered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approach-driven online care for emotion and behavior change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and perspective, giving space to describe what matters most and guiding goals from there. It’s useful when someone wants a therapist who listens first and tailors the work to their values and needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and then tests new ways of thinking and acting. It helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills to reduce overwhelm and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative plan can change as progress happens and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are close to in-person conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, parenting, or other demands while still focusing on real skills and measurable steps.
