About Dana
Dana Boyles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing parenting challenges, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Dana also supports young adults navigating motivation and organizational struggles.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused work that pulls from Solution-Focused ideas and family systems thinking. Sessions look at boundaries, daily routines, and small changes that make a difference. Conversations are practical and directed toward what the person wants to be different.
Dana also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. That can mean breaking down a hot reaction into manageable steps, developing clearer boundaries, or practicing new ways to handle stress at home or work.
When clients want a spiritual perspective, Dana can include Biblical viewpoints alongside clinical approaches. She says this is offered only when the client wants it, and it’s blended into the work rather than imposed.
Her style is hands-on and strength-focused. She looks for existing skills people can use right away and helps expand them. The emphasis is on practical steps that fit into busy lives and on finding patterns that lead to repeated clashes or frustration.
To start, prospective clients use the site matching process and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How her approaches work with online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, concrete changes you can try between sessions. It looks at what already works and builds steps toward specific goals, which helps when anger shows up around parenting or daily routines.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice the thoughts and actions that feed a quick temper. CBT offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to practice calmer responses in real situations.
Internal Family Systems names the different parts inside a person - for example an angry part and a protective part - and works to understand how those parts interact. That can reduce repeated clashes and soften reactions over time.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Dana will help clients choose methods based on their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. She treats that decision as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as progress is seen.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people practice new skills more consistently.
