Dana O'Neill, LCPC, LMHC

Dana O'Neill is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people rebuild self-worth and steady their emotions. She holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience. Dana writes plainly and meets people where they are, especially when life feels overwhelming or directionless.

She often helps people who struggle with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and questions about identity or purpose. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction issues, body image worries, and jealousy. Sessions emphasize practical skills people can use between meetings to feel steadier day to day.

Dana draws on Client-Centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s needs. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools and mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to address unhelpful thoughts and build calm focus.

Her background includes community, residential, and independent practice settings across nine years of work. That range informs a practical, hands-on approach. Dana prioritizes small, manageable goals so progress feels real and doable.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and then helps create steps toward change. People can expect clear strategies for handling shame, improving communication, and managing life transitions. The aim is steady growth that fits into a busy life.

Using skills-based approaches in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and guides the work toward what they say matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood when practiced consistently.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which combination of methods fits best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited over time as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the context of daily life and bring real situations into the conversation for immediate feedback.
