About Dana
Dana O'Neill is a licensed clinical professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people rebuild self-worth and manage strong emotions. She uses practical skills and steady support to help clients cope with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, and life changes. Dana writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel useful and down-to-earth.
She describes therapy as a place to learn how to notice and work with feelings instead of being overwhelmed by them.
Background and approach
Many clients start by learning simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Over time those habits make daily life feel more manageable and relationships easier to navigate. Dana draws heavily on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered ways of working.
That means she teaches emotion regulation skills, helps clients build awareness of body and mind, and listens closely to what each person values. Cognitive and solution-focused strategies are used when a clearer plan or behavior changes are helpful. Her background includes community, residential, and independent practice settings over nine years.
Dana holds the NV LCPC credential and the FL LMHC credential and has coached people through recovery from addiction, grief, and identity concerns. Her practical focus includes self-esteem, eating and body image concerns, parenting strain, career questions, and coping with chronic health issues. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
Dana encourages small experiments between sessions and focuses on skills that can be used right away. People who want steady, skills-based support for anger, anxiety, or life transitions often find this approach a clear next step.

How Dana's Methods Work Online
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and helps set goals that matter to them. In practice this looks like checking in about values and priorities, then shaping sessions around what the client wants to change.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing reactivity, and improving how people get along with others. Mindfulness therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment, which can reduce rumination and help with stress and anger. Both approaches are useful for problems like anxiety, anger, relationship tension, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try different techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. This collaborative approach makes sessions feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on emotion regulation and behavior changes.
