About Dana
Dana Cila is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, career concerns, anger, and issues with self-esteem. She also notes a focus on postpartum depression.
Her approach is straightforward. Sessions begin with a practical conversation about current problems and goals. Dana uses client-centered methods to listen and understand what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test different ways of responding.
In session she pays attention to everyday pressures such as work, money, family roles, and parenting changes after a baby. Conversations tend to focus on realistic steps someone can take between meetings. That might include testing small changes, practicing new ways of thinking, or shifting routines that increase stress.
Dana aims to keep therapy readable and relevant. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about how a plan is working. She adapts pacing and focus based on what a person reports is helpful.
People looking for short-term problem solving or help managing ongoing stress may find this style useful. The first sessions are used to set clear goals and map practical next steps for the weeks ahead.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach involve the therapist asking open questions, checking understanding, and helping the client name priorities and next steps. This method is useful for sorting through relationship or family concerns and clarifying what to work on next.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In an online session CBT work may include identifying a problematic thought, testing it against real-life evidence, and practicing alternative responses. This approach suits anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and postpartum mood changes where specific skills and behavioral experiments can help.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. Dana will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan if something is not helpful. The aim is to find tools that fit a person's life and needs rather than applying a fixed method.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or other obligations. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and sessions without travel, which can make consistent work on goals simpler to maintain.
