About Dana
Dana Boyles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are managing parenting challenges, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Dana also focuses on young adult issues common in early adulthood, such as finding direction after school and handling new responsibilities.
Her approach draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She aims to identify practical steps that move people toward clear goals. Sessions often include examining helpful thoughts and behaviors, clarifying priorities, and setting small, achievable actions.
Dana describes working from a family systems perspective to address boundary questions and how family patterns affect current problems. She uses goal-oriented work to help clients picture how they want life to look and then make concrete changes to reach that vision. She also brings strategies for organization and motivation that many people find useful when juggling study, work, and relationships.
She is comfortable discussing faith when clients request a spiritual element, and she notes some education in Biblical perspectives. Dana emphasizes respectful, direct conversation and practical support. People can expect straightforward planning, regular check-ins on progress, and help building daily routines that fit their lives.

How Dana’s approaches translate to online sessions
Many of Dana's methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and replacing them with more helpful habits; this is useful for anxiety, low mood, or motivation problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on tiny, practical steps toward a clear goal and often uses brief exercises and homework to build momentum. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner life and how they interact, which can help with self-criticism, anger, or relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan based on what works. Dana aims to help clients clarify what they want to change and then pick straightforward techniques to get there.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school or work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let clients use audio-only or video sessions depending on what they prefer and what is offered. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy fit daily life rather than on specific platform details.
