About Dhana
Dhana Clarkson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She uses a solution-focused, problem-solving style. Sessions are practical and encourage small steps that can change daily patterns. Dhana combines elements from several psychotherapies instead of using only one method. That lets her adjust her work to what a person actually needs in session.
Dhana pays attention to how physical health and life circumstances affect mood. She is comfortable discussing concerns from a Christian faith perspective when clients want that included. She aims to be positive and encouraging while helping people find what works for them.
Her work often includes teaching coping skills, practicing new ways of responding, and looking at patterns that keep old problems going. She draws on approaches such as attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive strategies, mindfulness skills, and motivational interviewing to guide sessions. These tools help with anger, panic, relationship strain, and recovery from past hurt.
People who contact her usually start by describing the most pressing problem. From there she helps set small goals and tries straightforward steps that fit into daily life. She invites questions about faith, health, or life circumstance as part of planning therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses and connection patterns. Online sessions using attachment ideas help people notice their typical reactions and practice different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy and gives people space to talk through what matters most. That approach helps clarify values and build confidence to try new behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let someone use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or choose video when face-to-face interaction helps. Licensed professionals can adapt the same practical exercises and skills work used in person to remote sessions, so people can practice changes in their everyday environments.
