About Dhana

Dhana Clarkson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and money and financial issues. She offers straightforward support for relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also helps clients deal with panic, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Her style is practical and encouraging. She focuses on problem-solving and short-term, solution-focused work while staying responsive to each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize clear steps you can try between meetings and attention to how physical health and everyday routines affect mood.

Dhana blends several therapeutic approaches to build a plan that fits each client. She uses elements from attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to shape sessions. The mix depends on what a person brings and what goals they want to reach.

She notes that faith is important to her practice and is willing to discuss issues from a Christian perspective when that is meaningful to the client. She also attends to multicultural concerns and how background influences relationships and emotions.

People considering therapy are invited to start by describing their main concerns and practical goals. Dhana aims to create a respectful, hopeful space where clients can try new skills and build clearer plans for dealing with stressors, finances, and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches guide remote work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect now. In online sessions this can help people notice patterns in trust, closeness, and fear of abandonment and try different ways of relating during daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which translates well into homework between sessions. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what matters, resolve mixed feelings, and strengthen motivation for change in areas like addiction or money and financial issues.

Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has worked before, and your preferences. Together you can try an approach, check how it feels, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits your needs and pace.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy useful for fitting care into a busy life because it can reduce travel time, allow sessions during a lunch break, or make it easier to keep regular check-ins. Therapists can assign short skill practices, breathing exercises, or brief written reflections between meetings so therapy stays connected to everyday routines.
