About Dana
Dana Brouca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports those coping with life changes, career concerns, and caregiver stress.
Dana prefers straightforward, practical conversations. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and focuses on concrete steps they can use day to day. Sessions often address thinking patterns, communication habits, and ways to reduce reactive responses when anger or frustration flare up.
Her work draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their goals and find reasons to stick with changes.
Dana has supported people dealing with family problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, money stress, and issues connected to aging, cancer, or caregiving roles. She has experience with compassion fatigue and with young adult and veteran-related concerns.
Sessions are practical and focused on skills clients can use between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly and next steps are planned together. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's appointment process.
How Dana Uses Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them try ideas that feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks issues into small parts and teaches practical exercises to test new ways of reacting.Picking the right approach is part of the work. Dana will talk with the client about their goals, past attempts, and what feels doable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
