Dhana Clarkson, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Dhana

Dhana Clarkson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works in Florida and offers sessions in English, including options for international clients. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping people take small steps that add up to real change.

She focuses on clear problem solving and building a collaborative plan tailored to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions are encouraging and solution-oriented, with attention to mood, life changes, and issues like addiction or trauma. Dhana pays attention to how physical health and daily routines affect feelings and coping skills. Her work combines techniques from several well-known methods to fit the needs of the person in front of her.

She draws on cognitive-behavioral tools for thinking and behavior shifts, uses attachment ideas to address relational patterns, and brings mindfulness to help with awareness and stress reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used when people want practical next actions.

Dhana also makes space to discuss faith when that matters to the client, and she treats spiritual concerns as part of the whole person. The overall aim is to create a respectful, trusting relationship where people can talk through what’s hard and try realistic changes.

Her work tends to be direct and supportive, with an emphasis on safety, practical tools, and steady progress one step at a time.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people relate and respond to stress; it helps when worries center on closeness, trust, or abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and offers clear tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals, helping people feel heard and understood.

Dhana treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Over time the plan can change if something isn’t helping or you prefer a different style.

Online therapy provides flexibility because sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit work or caregiving schedules, manage travel, and keep continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can bring the same practical tools and collaborative planning to online formats, with the benefit of meeting you where you are and helping you build usable skills over time.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
