Dana CilaLCSW

Dana Cila is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or low in mood. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, motivation and confidence challenges, and postpartum depression.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and tailors sessions to each person's needs. Conversations focus on practical next steps and skills that can be used between visits.

Dana uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Together these approaches aim to make small, doable changes that add up over time.

Sessions usually mix short coaching, skill practice, and space to talk through feelings. Dana aims to make sessions straightforward and relevant to day-to-day life. She encourages people to notice what helps and to adjust the plan as they go.

If you are considering therapy during pregnancy or after childbirth, she has experience addressing postpartum depression and related stress. The first session focuses on what you want to change and what will fit into your life. Moving at your pace is part of the plan.

How Dana Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in the room. It gives space for you to describe your priorities while the therapist reflects and helps clarify next steps. This approach can be useful when you want a supportive, listening environment to make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify patterns that keep stress or low mood going, and it teaches simple skills to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will collaborate with each person to decide whether Client-Centered talk, CBT skill practice, or a mix fits best. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes consistent follow-up and practice between sessions more convenient for many people.
