About Danica
Danica Bokal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, addictions, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and attention-related challenges. Danica is sensitive to LGBTQ+ needs and offers an empathetic, warm presence during sessions.
She uses a practical, activity-focused approach. Sessions combine short teaching moments with hands-on therapy tasks clients can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Danica listens first to understand each person’s story, then suggests steps that are clear and doable. Her style is both caring and directive when a steady plan is helpful. Over eight years in the mental health field have given her experience with life transitions like career shifts, separation, and changes tied to health or aging.
She has worked alongside people managing addictive behaviors and co-occurring concerns. That background informs how she helps people build routines, coping skills, and clearer decision-making. Danica draws from Attachment-based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered methods.
She blends these approaches to match each person’s goals and pace. Therapy focuses on practical skills, reflection, and steady steps toward change. Sessions are structured to help clients use their strengths and learn new habits.
Danica encourages simple experiments between sessions, honest conversation about values, and concrete strategies for handling strong emotions. She guides people toward more meaningful, manageable daily life.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online work
Danica often blends Attachment-based therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when working online. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build steadier connection styles. ACT focuses on values and flexible action, teaching skills to notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions she will listen to a person’s goals, try a few techniques, and adjust based on what feels useful. The plan is practical and collaborative rather than fixed, so techniques can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for her clients. Video calls allow face-to-face work for relationship and emotional processing. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and continuing practice between longer sessions. These options help people sustain progress while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
