Danica Bokal, LMHC

Danica Bokal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with life transitions, career changes, grief, intimacy issues, sleep or eating concerns, and ADHD. Danica notes particular sensitivity to LGBTQ+ identity questions and to both women’s and men’s mental health needs.

Clients can expect a direct and practical style. Danica learns what each person is facing and uses evidence-based interventions aimed at clear goals. She blends psychoeducation with therapeutic work people can practice between sessions. That means conversations in sessions are paired with tools and small exercises to try during the week.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In session she balances active guidance with listening so people can test new habits and notice what helps. This approach is useful for problems like codependency, communication difficulties, control issues, and commitment worries.

Danica also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness, and co-morbid mental health conditions. She helps people who struggle with emotional regulation, anger, or dissociation to develop clearer coping skills. For those managing addiction or substance use, she incorporates practical steps alongside emotional support.

People who want a mix of education and hands-on practice often find this style a good fit. Danica encourages clients to identify small, achievable changes and track progress over time. She invites motivated individuals to explore new ways of relating to themselves and others.
