Dana Cila

Dana Cila is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with three years of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, or low mood. She also supports those facing relationship strain, family conflict, career concerns, and struggles with self-esteem, including postpartum depression.

Her approach is grounded in respect and sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are collaborative and practical, focusing on changes that matter day to day.

Dana blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using talk and simple tools to spot patterns and shift unhelpful thinking. She lays out options clearly and helps people try strategies that fit their routine.

Expect straightforward discussion about what’s most troubling right now, and steps to reduce distress and build confidence. The work can include practicing new ways to respond when anger flares, or testing small behavior changes at home or work.

She aims for a supportive tone that guides people through the early steps of change. If you’re unsure how therapy might fit your life, Dana will explain the process and tailor the plan to your situation.

How Dana’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe place to talk and decide what to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, mood changes, and anger because it targets patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with the client to choose what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts strategies over time and checks in to see what is helping.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them try therapy without major changes to daily routines.
