About Dana
Dr. Dana Scoville is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 23 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or life changes.
Her work is practical and focused on building strengths and resilience rather than promising quick fixes. She believes mental health sits on a spectrum and that small lifestyle changes can move someone toward better functioning. In sessions she asks about daily routines, stressors, and what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Together they set realistic steps that fit the person’s life and abilities. Dr. Scoville draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based ideas.
That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small experiments, and practice skills that reduce distress and improve coping. She also uses solution-focused techniques to highlight what is working and build on it. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
She frames mental health as something to work on over time, not a single event to fix. People who want practical tools and steady support for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, career challenges, or compassion fatigue may find this approach helpful. Dr.
Scoville offers sessions in English and works with clients across Florida and internationally. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time and provides multiple remote formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that fit an online format
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can take meaningful action based on their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It works well for worry, panic, and depression.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and daily routines, then try techniques that fit those needs. If something does not feel like a good fit, adjustments are made so the work is practical and doable.
Online formats allow flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist observe body language and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, tracking progress, and practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
