About Danica

Danica Bokal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and the practical strains that come with life changes. She also offers focused support around LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues.

Danica meets each person where they are and treats them as an individual. She listens to what matters most and works with clients on concrete steps toward their goals. Her style blends a warm, nonjudgmental presence with active, directive guidance so sessions move from talk to action.

She uses evidence-based approaches along with straightforward teaching people can use between sessions. That can include building coping skills, managing mood and sleep, addressing addictive behaviors, or improving communication. Therapy often includes goal setting, practical exercises, and checking progress week to week.

Danica has experience helping people through identity questions, career transitions, and trauma recovery. She is sensitive to the needs of LGBT people, and to gender-specific mental health issues. Her aim is to help clients find tools inside themselves and put them into practice.

If someone is ready to commit to change, she partners with them to create a more meaningful and manageable life. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to the person and building small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes that feel overwhelming.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It helps people improve communication, manage trust issues, and work through abandonment or attachment-related pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm which online options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue care through relocations or when juggling work and family responsibilities. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, adapt interventions like ACT and attachment work to an online setting and focus on skills and steps people can use between sessions.
