About Dana

Dana O'Neill is a licensed clinician who blends evidence-based therapies with a compassionate, client-focused stance to help people rebuild self-worth and regain direction.

Background and approach

With nine years of experience working in community, residential, and independent practice settings, she uses tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness work, and cognitive approaches to address anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, identity-related struggles, and ADHD among other challenges.

Her training in DBT supports skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, while mindfulness emphasizes mind-body awareness that can reveal practical steps toward better self-care. Clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected will find a practical collaborator in Dana.

She draws on motivational and solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals and on client-centered principles to tailor work around each person’s values and preferences. Dana combines lived empathy with clinical training to guide people through grief, career transitions, addictive patterns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Her approach encourages vulnerability as a route to resilience and helps clients build new habits that foster healthier relationships and a more purposeful life.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Dana draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients online. DBT focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills so people can respond more effectively to intense feelings and conflict. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve motivation, and clarify steps toward goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Dana will work with each client to explore which methods match their needs, values, and goals, adjusting techniques over time as progress and preferences become clearer. This collaborative stance helps ensure sessions feel relevant and actionable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it possible to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access therapy from different locations, which can increase consistency and momentum in making change.
