About Dana
Dana Boyles is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing parenting stress, relationship strain, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also focuses on issues common to young adults.
Dana uses solution-focused ideas and family-systems thinking to clarify what a person wants to change. She helps people set concrete goals and looks at how family patterns and roles shape daily struggles. Sessions often include practical steps for boundaries, organization, and motivation.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to examine thoughts and behaviors that feed frustration or low confidence. That work is paired with Internal Family Systems ideas to notice different parts of a person that hold worry, anger, or self-doubt. The combination aims to make problems more manageable in everyday life.
Dana says she will adapt conversation and plans to the pace someone prefers and will bring a direct, hands-on approach when needed. She can include a spiritual perspective if the client requests that, informed by her Christian beliefs and related education in Biblical perspectives.
Her practical focus includes skill-building for parenting, structure and organization for ADHD, boundary setting for family issues, and short-term strategies for coping with life changes. People usually leave sessions with specific steps to try between meetings.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Many sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change thought and behavior patterns. CBT helps with irritability, low confidence, motivation, and practical problems like time management.Solution-Focused Therapy is about defining a clear goal and identifying small, doable steps toward it. That approach suits people who want short-term, action-oriented work on parenting, boundaries, or workplace frustration.
Internal Family Systems looks at different parts inside a person that hold anger, shame, or anxiety. Noticing those parts can reduce internal conflict and make practical responses easier to choose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques and adjust as progress is made.
Session logistics are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people keep consistent progress.
