About Dana
Dr. Dana Scoville is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people build resilience and practical coping skills during difficult periods.
Background and approach
She emphasizes working from a strengths-based perspective, helping clients identify where they are on a mental health continuum and developing realistic steps to move toward better functioning. With 23 years of clinical experience, Dr.
Scoville encourages clients to focus on areas within their control and to adopt sustainable habits that support emotional well-being. Her style blends techniques from several evidence-informed approaches, tailored to each person’s situation rather than relying on one fixed method.
Dr. Scoville frames mental health as an ongoing process, similar to physical health, and guides clients to create individualized lifestyle changes that fit their abilities and goals.
She addresses a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, career challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Throughout therapy she aims to empower clients rather than promise quick cures, helping them strengthen adaptability and recover a greater sense of balance and purpose in daily life.
Using evidence-informed approaches in online sessions
Dr. Scoville frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress; it typically involves practical exercises and skills practice between sessions. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful behavior changes, which can help with grief, relationship challenges, and persistent worry.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and life context and then tailor methods to what seems most helpful. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the plan evolves with the client’s progress and feedback.
Online therapy with Dr. Scoville is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, travel, or caregiving responsibilities, and support steady skill-building and follow-through between appointments.
