About Dana
Dana Brouca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and life changes. She also addresses trauma, grief, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach blends practical techniques and listening. She uses client-centered work to understand each person's priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when people want clear next steps and goal-focused change.
Dana has supported people facing health-related and caregiving challenges, including cancer, aging and geriatric issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses money and financial worries, communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, and concerns common to young adults and veterans. These focus areas are folded into short-term problem solving and longer conversations when needed.
In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and concrete ideas to try between meetings. Conversations may include practical coping strategies, ways to manage mood shifts, and steps for improving communication. The work aims to reduce daily strain and make choices more manageable.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Dana speaks English and practices in New Jersey as an LCSW.
BHow sessions work
How Dana’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's priorities. Online sessions still center on what matters most to the individual, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting back to clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT can include tracking mood, practicing behavioral experiments, and reviewing homework together. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind; these exercises can be guided during a live session and practiced between meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their needs and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress or circumstances change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit visits into a workday, reduce travel time, or make it easier to keep regular check-ins. Online meetings also allow focused short check-ins or full-length therapy sessions, depending on what the individual and therapist agree will be most useful.
