Dr. Dana Scoville

Dr. Dana Scoville helps people facing life transitions, stress, and losses find practical ways forward. She is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with more than two decades of experience. Her style is straightforward and strengths-focused, aimed at people who want tools they can use between sessions.

She emphasizes building resilience rather than fighting things outside of your control. Sessions focus on small, realistic lifestyle changes that add up over time. That might mean shifting daily habits, practicing new ways of responding to stress, or setting clearer boundaries in relationships.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused problem solving. These methods are used to help with anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, trauma and other life disruptions.

Dr. Scoville frames mental health as a continuum and helps people move toward better functioning at a pace that fits them. She supports those navigating identity and intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, and the strain that comes with major change.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative process that looks at strengths, habits, and concrete steps. She encourages a practical, steady approach instead of quick fixes, aiming to create improvements that last.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness practices that reduce reactivity and build calm across daily life.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to pick and adapt methods based on their goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and changing course when something does not fit.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, and offering sessions when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice new skills in the real settings where challenges arise. Licensed professionals adapt techniques so they remain practical and relevant across remote and in-person settings.
