Dana Castillo

Dana Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens who are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, money and financial issues, self-love, womens issues, and questions about life purpose.

Dana uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens and helps people name whats happening, then practices hands-on tools together to manage stress and strong emotions. Conversations are straightforward and paced so clients can try new ways of responding outside sessions.

Sessions often include skill-building around coping, communication, and decision-making. Dana helps people sort priorities and test small changes that fit into daily life. She guides clients through thinking differently about problems and trying concrete steps between meetings.

Her work is collaborative: clients set goals and Dana supports progress with simple techniques and check-ins. For someone stuck after a big life change, or unsure what comes next, she helps turn confusing feelings into manageable steps. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Dana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new, more helpful ways of thinking. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions about next steps.

Behavioral and skills-based methods focus on practicing concrete actions. These include stress management tools, communication practice, and stepwise experiments to test changes in daily life. Those techniques aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and make choices feel more manageable.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Dana will talk with each person about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She works with clients to set small, practical goals and reviews progress together.

The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking. Use the sites matching process to see current options and schedule a first appointment. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family obligations are easier to manage.
