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, addiction, major life changes, identity questions, and trauma. She is attentive to concerns related to LGBT identity and offers support around career shifts, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and emotional regulation.
Danica meets each person where they are and focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions.
Background and approach
She blends teaching and therapy so clients can practice new habits during the week. Her style is warm and direct - empathetic but active in guiding next steps. Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, and the Gottman Method for relationship work when appropriate.
She uses these approaches to address communication problems, codependency, intimacy concerns, and attachment wounds. Sessions aim to build clearer coping strategies and realistic goals. Danica often combines brief teaching, skill-building exercises, and conversational work to help people notice patterns and try different choices.
She encourages self-compassion while expecting honest effort. Her practice supports people managing grief, chronic pain or illness, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and relationship conflict. Danica emphasizes collaboration: you set the goals and she helps map practical steps to reach them.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Gottman Method work helps people improve communication and reduce harmful patterns in close relationships by teaching practical interaction skills and conflict tools. It is useful when couples or partners want clearer ways to talk, manage conflict, and rebuild connection.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and practicing small actions that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where people want less struggle with difficult thoughts and more focus on meaningful action.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bond patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people who notice repeating relationship hurts, fear of abandonment, or trouble trusting others to form more supported ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to pick exercises and session formats that match needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and observing nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people process thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue regular work toward goals.
