Dhana Clarkson, LMHC

Dhana Clarkson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. She writes in a warm, encouraging voice and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She also offers support for trauma, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem struggles.

Her style is solution-focused and client-centered. Sessions aim to identify small, concrete changes that feel doable. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the needs of each person rather than relying on a single method.

Clarkson pays attention to how physical health and life circumstances affect mood and behavior. She is open to discussing issues from a Christian faith perspective when that is important to the person seeking help. Her work also includes attention to multicultural concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and body image or money-related stress.

She uses elements from Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in tailored ways. That mix is applied flexibly to concerns like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and coping with life changes.

People who choose to work with her can expect a respectful, encouraging relationship focused on problem solving. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform intake steps and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection, trust, and fears of abandonment in everyday relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify goals and strengthen a person’s own reasons for change.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try approaches that fit your goals and preferences. That makes sessions feel more tailored and collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer quicker check-ins when life gets hectic. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and brief between-session practice, which can be helpful when using remote sessions to reinforce progress.
