Dhana Clarkson, LMHC

Dhana Clarkson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem struggles. Her tone is encouraging and solution-focused, and she invites people who are ready to take the next step toward change.

She has worked as a professional counselor for 15 years. Her approach mixes practical tools with a client-centered way of listening. Sessions focus on problem solving, building skills, and finding steps that fit each person's life.

Dhana draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are part of her toolkit when people need help finding motivation or calming intense emotions.

She pays attention to the whole person, including physical health and how it affects mood. She can also discuss concerns through a faith perspective for those who want that included. Her style aims to be respectful and collaborative while offering clear, practical options for change.

People who choose to work with her can expect a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She emphasizes small, doable steps and ongoing problem solving as clients move toward their goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based approaches focus on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this lens to help people understand triggers in partnerships and improve how they relate to others.

Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and values active listening and empathy. In remote sessions this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks open questions, and helps people name what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find short-term changes that reduce distress. CBT works well for anxiety, mood shifts, panic, and many addiction-related patterns by teaching concrete skills and experiments to test new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people keep treatment consistent when life changes or travel make in-person visits difficult.
