About Dana
Dana Boyles is a licensed therapist in Texas who uses solution-focused and family-systems ideas alongside cognitive behavioral tools to help people move from feeling stuck to more capable. She holds the credentials LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and brings about 20 years of experience to her work. Dana speaks plainly and aims to match the pace and goals each person prefers.
She commonly helps with parenting concerns and family dynamics, along with self-esteem and relationship issues. She also supports people managing anger, compassion fatigue, life changes, and challenges related to ADHD. Young adult issues are another area she pays attention to.
Dana draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps toward a preferred future. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to look at different parts of a person’s inner experience and how those parts interact. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help unpack thought patterns and build new habits that change how someone feels and acts.
Her style is warm and direct. She looks for strengths to build on and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s values and pace. Dana may include a spiritual perspective when clients want that and she has education in Biblical viewpoints to offer that context.
She encourages realistic goals and believes steady progress comes from clear steps, respectful dialogue, and attention to what the person wants to grow into.
How these approaches translate to online work
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical steps toward a clear goal. Online sessions can spotlight one or two simple changes to try between meetings and then check what worked. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people practice new habits; that makes it easy to assign short exercises or tracking tasks to do between virtual sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped by what matters to the client, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days because it can reduce travel time and make scheduling more flexible. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick focus is helpful, or for using simple worksheets and between-session tasks that support steady change.
