About Dana
Dana Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people managing anxiety, stress, and big life changes. She meets with adults and teens who are looking for clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to cope. Her tone is warm and non-judgmental so clients can speak honestly and feel heard.
Sessions focus on understanding thoughts and emotions in everyday terms. Dana uses simple, practical tools people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims to help clients reduce overwhelm, build confidence, and move forward at their own pace. With three years of clinical experience in Texas, Dana brings a steady, down-to-earth approach to common concerns. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and skill-building.
Expect a collaborative process that centers on immediate needs and longer-term goals. Dana also addresses relationship strain and communication problems with straightforward strategies people can use in daily life. Additional areas of focus include divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, money and financial issues, self-love, and women’s issues.
These topics are woven into sessions as they relate to each person’s situation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client’s availability.
The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Many of Dana's sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that break thoughts and feelings into manageable parts. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing clearer, calmer responses to stress and anxiety. This helps people interrupt cycles of worry and react with less intensity.Another helpful approach centers on building coping skills through simple practices. These skills include short breathing or grounding exercises, step-by-step problem solving, and communication strategies for tense moments. They are intended to be tried between sessions so people can see small improvements quickly.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Dana works collaboratively to learn each person's goals and preferences, and then adapts techniques to fit day-to-day life. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust them based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school routines while keeping momentum between sessions.
