About Dhana
Dhana Clarkson is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with adults on issues like addiction, trauma, grief, self-esteem, intimacy, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and hopeful, aimed at helping people take the next steps forward.
She uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on real-life problem solving, building new skills, and recognizing patterns that make things harder.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how health, culture, and life circumstances affect mood and behavior. Her style is warm and encouraging. She aims to create a respectful space where clients can talk through difficult moments and try different coping tools.
She can address concerns from a faith perspective when that is important to the client. Clinically she draws from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These approaches guide how she helps people understand relationships, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build steady habits.
Sessions are offered from Florida and are available in English. She accepts international clients and works with people who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

How her approaches work online
Attachment-based work helps people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. In short sessions it can reveal why certain closeness or trust issues keep repeating and point to healthier ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and build better coping habits for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change. It uses straightforward questions and reflection to strengthen motivation and set realistic goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will ask about concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients can give feedback and adjust the plan as they go to make sure it fits their life and needs.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, quick progress notes, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady work on goals.
