Dr. Dana Scoville, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Dana

Dr. Dana Scoville welcomes people looking for practical support with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life changes. She emphasizes strengths and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She sees mental health as a continuum and helps clients identify where they are on that spectrum.

Background and approach

Then she focuses on small, realistic changes that fit each person’s life and abilities. Her approach pulls from several evidence-based methods so she can match tools to a person’s situation. She helps people build resilience, cope with trauma and loss, and address intimacy or career concerns through practical techniques.

She also supports LGBT-related issues and compassion fatigue concerns. Sessions emphasize skills people can use day to day. Dr.

Scoville works on building flexibility and acceptance for things outside a client’s control while also setting clear goals for change. That mix helps people manage symptoms and function better in everyday life. She encourages clients to view mental health as an ongoing practice like physical health.

Together with the client she looks at routines, thought patterns, and actions that can be adjusted to improve overall well-being. Her style is collaborative, steady, and focused on workable steps.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can help with depression, anxiety, and relationship patterns by teaching concrete skills to test and change thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will talk about needs, goals, and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit those preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies over time if something isn’t working.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This flexibility lets people connect from home, on a break, or while traveling. It also makes it possible to use tools learned in therapy in real time and maintain continuity when life gets busy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
