About Danica

Danica Bokal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of clinical experience and emphasizes practical skills that clients can apply between sessions to manage symptoms, navigate career or identity shifts, and cope with grief, intimacy issues, or compassion fatigue. Her style blends empathy with active guidance, combining psychoeducation and evidence-based interventions to help clients move toward their goals.

Danica is attentive to LGBTQ+ needs as well as gender-specific mental health concerns, and she strives to understand each person’s unique circumstances before tailoring treatment. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental environment paired with directive strategies when appropriate.

Danica frames therapy as a collaborative process that highlights clients’ existing strengths while teaching new coping tools. She encourages commitment to personal growth and aims to help people build more meaningful, functional lives by integrating therapeutic homework, skills practice, and reflective work into the healing process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or insomnia. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness, helping people accept difficult emotions while building a meaningful life despite ongoing challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and presenting difficulties together and may blend elements from different modalities to tailor treatment. This partnership helps determine which strategies fit best and how to pace therapeutic work over time.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, fit therapy into busy routines, and practice skills in real time with therapist guidance. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across these channels to support progress in ways that suit each client's circumstances.
