Dana Brouca

Dana Brouca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, grief, and anger, and supports people managing life changes and caregiver strain.

She takes a direct, person-centered approach in sessions. Dana treats each person as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to set clear, practical goals. Conversations are aimed at identifying strengths and building skills that fit daily life.

Dana blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and try small, achievable changes. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages.

Her work often helps people handle stressful transitions, improve communication, and manage mood swings or burnout. She supports those dealing with trauma, grief, and issues related to aging, caregiving, or health concerns like cancer.

Sessions focus on concrete steps - short experiments, mindset shifts, and new coping tools. Dana helps clients track what’s working and adjust the plan as needed. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday responsibilities.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Dana Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first. Dana listens without judgment and helps clients set concrete goals based on their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going; it’s useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood by teaching practical skills and small experiments to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple grounding and attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with stress and burnout.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. They will try methods and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s life and produces useful change.
