Dana O'Neill, LCPC, LMHC

Dana O'Neill is a female therapist who works with adults navigating the gap between who they are today and who they hoped they would be by now. When self-criticism takes over, it can be hard to feel motivated, stay present in relationships, or make progress at work. She supports clients who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, stuck in overthinking, discouraged by low self-esteem, or unsure about their direction, including those trying to rebuild connection in a relationship, move through identity questions, or regain a sense of purpose.

Her work emphasizes building self-worth through practical skills and compassionate self-understanding. Dana encourages clients to explore vulnerability in a steady, supportive way, with the goal of learning what they truly need and how to advocate for it effectively. She places a strong focus on mindfulness and the mind-body connection, helping clients tune in to their internal experience so they can respond to emotions, stress, and triggers with more clarity and care.

Dana has intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an approach that teaches tools for emotion regulation, coping with distress, and improving relationships. She also brings experience from community, residential, and private practice settings. Her strongest areas of focus include self-esteem, anxiety management, relationship concerns, identity issues, and support around the weight loss journey. Dana approaches therapy with the belief that learning to care for oneself more consistently can strengthen confidence, improve connection with others, and make meaningful goals feel attainable.
