Background and approach
Dhana also includes mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the client’s goals. Her style is practical and solution-minded. She listens first, then helps people set clear, achievable goals.
Therapy often includes homework, simple skills practice, and check-ins to track progress. Dhana pays attention to how physical health and life circumstances affect mood and behavior. She is open to exploring faith when a client wants that included in sessions.
Her work also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Sessions can be arranged in several online formats to suit different needs. She works with multicultural concerns and helps people navigate life changes, financial stress, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and change
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. It can help people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways to connect and feel safer in relationships.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s pace. This approach supports people who need a space to be heard, gain clarity, and set their own goals for change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns where learning concrete skills can reduce symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing attachment work with CBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when face-to-face interaction matters, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
