About Dana
Dana O'Neill is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and addictive behaviors. Sessions focus on practical skills that help people manage overwhelming feelings and day-to-day demands.
Dana describes a practical, skills-based approach that emphasizes noticing thoughts, bodily signals, and patterns of behavior. She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practice appear often in her work to help people regulate intense emotion and stay grounded in the present. Motivational Interviewing is brought in when someone wants to change habits tied to substance use, eating behaviors, or routines that no longer serve them. These methods are tools to try, not promises of a particular outcome.
Dana has worked across community, residential, and private-practice settings. That variety informs how she frames steps forward - from short, focused skill practice to longer conversations about identity and life direction. She explains things plainly and focuses on small, manageable changes that fit into busy lives.
People who reach out for help with self-worth, anxiety, relationship issues, or the stresses of parenting can expect straightforward guidance, concrete exercises, and regular check-ins about what is and isn’t working. She offers sessions in English and practices from Florida.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's goals and priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on what matters most to the person and adjust pacing and topics to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice and test unhelpful thoughts. In remote sessions this often means practical homework, thought records, and brief experiments to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be practiced in online sessions and reviewed during follow-up to see what helps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods to try first and will check in regularly about how the chosen approach is working for the client's goals and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people do guided mindfulness or behavioral experiments at home between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and skills practice so clients can build new habits while managing parenting and life responsibilities.
