About Dana
Dr. Dana Scoville helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out find more balance in everyday life. She is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with more than two decades of clinical experience. Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused, aimed at practical change you can use between sessions.
She centers work on what a person can control and builds on existing resilience. That often means identifying small, doable lifestyle shifts rather than looking for a single quick fix. Sessions include conversations about coping skills, values, and realistic goals to improve day-to-day functioning.
Dana uses tools from several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs and prefers a collaborative tone in sessions. The goal is steady progress toward clearer priorities and more manageable routines.
Her background includes 23 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, family and parenting stress, trauma and abuse, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around LGBT issues and self-esteem struggles.
People who choose her often want practical steps and a plan they can follow. To begin, a short intake helps identify priorities and sets the schedule for future sessions. Dana encourages an active, goal-oriented approach to mental health that fits into daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, actions, and mood, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences with you and help decide which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments. Because session formats are not detailed here, please confirm current options before booking. Ask about shorter check-ins, timing that fits work breaks, or phone sessions if less bandwidth is needed. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and help them practice new skills in the settings where they live and work.
