About Dana
Dana Cila is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or unsure about their next steps. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, career decisions, anger, and postpartum depression.
Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person’s situation. Sessions are built around what matters to the client, with clear steps and goals people can use between meetings.
Dana uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective and build a trusting working relationship. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and coping skills. Both approaches are used in plain language and practical ways.
She aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative project. Clients can expect straightforward talk, problem-solving, and small exercises that fit into daily life. The emphasis is on realistic changes rather than complicated jargon.
If someone is nervous about starting, Dana acknowledges that the first step takes courage. She works with each person to create a plan that matches their pace and goals.
How Dana Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and an empathetic, nonjudgmental conversation. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer thinking about personal goals, or a space to be heard without pressure.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It breaks problems into manageable steps and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Dana works with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn't working, so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling.
