About Dana

Dana O'Neill centers her work in evidence-informed approaches with a focus on helping people change unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills.

Background and approach

As a clinician trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she integrates mindfulness and client-centered techniques to address stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and identity-related struggles. Dana emphasizes learning tools that reduce overwhelm and increase emotional balance while attending to the body-mind connection she values in practice.

With nine years of experience across community, residential, and independent practice settings, Dana brings both clinical training and personal insight to her work. She guides clients through developing self-compassion, improving communication, and managing addictive or compulsive patterns, while also supporting those coping with grief, career transitions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns.

Dana holds professional licenses in Florida and Nevada and frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical change and renewed purpose.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Many of Dana's methods adapt easily to remote work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address self-esteem or compulsive patterns. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are taught in concrete, practiceable steps useful for relationship struggles and strong emotional reactions.

She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness practices to help clients cultivate self-compassion and a clearer mind-body awareness. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process: the therapist partners with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust techniques based on what feels most effective and feasible in daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to continue consistent work on skills, check in between sessions, and access therapy from various locations while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
