About Dhana
Dhana Clarkson is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people struggling with stress and anxiety and with related concerns like depression, panic attacks, grief, and addiction. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to cope better and feel steadier.
She uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches and adapts them to each person’s situation. Sessions are meant to be encouraging and solution-focused while also addressing deeper issues such as attachment wounds and past trauma.
Background and approach
Dhana pays attention to how physical health and life circumstances affect mood and coping. Her style is calm and straightforward. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear goals and small, achievable steps.
Mindfulness exercises, thought-work, and ways to strengthen relationships are tools she commonly uses. Dhana also offers space to discuss faith when a client wishes, and she includes that perspective as part of a broader plan. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process where clients keep their own pace and shape the work.
Based in Florida, she brings years of experience helping people manage life changes, reduce panic and social anxiety, and rebuild a sense of self-worth. Her approach blends practical coping skills with attention to underlying patterns like attachment and self-esteem.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and self-worth; online sessions can use discussion and exercises to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms through thought reframing and exposure-style practice. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to lower reactivity and improve mood, and those exercises can be practiced during brief video or phone sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try techniques that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Together you’ll pick practical steps and homework that match your lifestyle and comfort level.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues for relationship work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter conversation is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, and ongoing support when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
