About Danica
Danica Bokal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the strain of life changes. She supports people working through identity concerns, career transitions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting pressures, ADHD, and chronic health challenges. Danica brings eight years of experience in the mental health field and works with each person as an individual.
She listens first, then uses practical tools people can try between sessions. Her style is warm and direct. She combines teaching skills with therapy so clients can practice coping strategies during the week.
Danica draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts techniques to what each person needs instead of using the same plan for everyone. That can mean learning new thinking habits, practicing mindfulness and acceptance, or building healthier relationship skills.
People often come to her when life feels overwhelming or when a major change has upended daily routines. She focuses on small, doable steps that fit into busy lives. Sessions aim to strengthen personal resources and clarify values so choices feel more manageable.
Danica emphasizes collaboration and practical application. She encourages clients to experiment with strategies between meetings and to reflect on what helps. Her goal is to guide people toward clearer priorities and more consistent wellbeing.

How her approaches guide online work
Danica often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when worry or avoidance get in the way of living the life someone wants. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danica will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend techniques that fit their situation. She stays flexible and adjusts methods as progress and needs evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice real-life skills in the contexts where they happen. Licensed professionals can help plan how therapy integrates into daily routines and follow up on practical homework between meetings.
