About Dhana
Dhana Clarkson offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma and abuse. She helps people manage panic attacks, mood disorders, low self-esteem, anger, and the strain of life changes. Parents looking for straightforward, calm guidance may find her approach comforting.
Dhana draws on 15 years of counseling experience to create practical plans that fit each person. She uses clear steps and problem-solving to reduce overwhelming feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable changes and building day-to-day coping skills. Her style is warm and client-centered. That means she listens first and follows the person’s pace.
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. She blends attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns matter and motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding their own reasons to change. Dhana pays attention to how health, money, culture, and life circumstances affect mood and behavior.
Dhana is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida. She can talk about faith when clients want that perspective included. Her language of choice for sessions is English and she accepts international clients.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The process begins online by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and closeness. It helps people who notice repeated patterns in relationships, fear of abandonment, or trouble trusting others. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience by listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and can guide the goals. It suits people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and small experiments. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new priorities surface.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into short breaks or when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflections, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and fit therapy into a busy life.
