About Dana

Dana O'Neill, LCPC, LMHC, centers conversations around building self-worth and everyday coping skills. She speaks plainly about the hard parts of life - feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you want to be - and focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more motivated.

Dana draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's goals and priorities. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help uncover unhelpful thinking and DBT-informed skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing approaches are woven into sessions to help people notice what their bodies and values are telling them and take small, consistent steps forward.

Her background includes work in community settings, residential programs, and independent practice in Florida over nine years. That range of experience informs a flexible style that balances short-term problem solving with longer-term changes in self-view and daily habits.

Common concerns she addresses include self-esteem, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, life changes, grief, addictive behaviors, and body image. Dana also supports people navigating career choices, ADHD challenges, and caregiver stress.

Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process. Sessions emphasize clear skills and homework that fit into real life. The aim is to help people feel more able to care for themselves, relate better to others, and move toward goals that matter to them.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work means sessions begin with what matters to the person. The therapist listens closely and shapes goals around each client's priorities, whether that is self-esteem, relationships, or managing anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps with mood, worry, and motivation. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve interactions with others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is often part of the first few sessions. The therapist collaborates with clients to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and daily routines. That way the plan feels practical and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because it reduces travel time, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, mindfulness practices, and emotion skills for use between sessions so changes carry into everyday routines.
