About Danica
Danica Bokal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, addictions, career changes, relationship and family questions, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues related to grief, intimacy, sleep and eating, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Danica listens to the specific situation each person brings and uses evidence-based approaches to move toward clear goals. She mixes practical teaching with psychotherapy exercises clients can use during the week. Sessions are direct and active when needed, and she adjusts the pace based on what someone needs.
Her work includes attention to attachment and family of origin patterns that continue to affect current behavior and relationships. She draws on attachment-based ideas to help people notice repeated roles, expectations, or communication habits learned in childhood and how those patterns show up now.
Danica also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are part of her approach when clients want to focus on values and committed action amid difficult feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
She is aware of LGBT concerns and attends to identity-related stress alongside other life issues. Danica invites clients who want practical strategies and honest conversation about change to consider working together.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Danica commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take action even when feelings are difficult. ACT includes exercises that build willingness to feel hard emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early family roles and closeness patterns affect current relationships. This approach helps people spot repeated responses and try different ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete skill-building and practice. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She checks in and adjusts tactics over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting someone use video or phone depending on what works best that day. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to help clients apply skills between sessions and stay connected to progress.
