About me

Hello!
My name is Danica Bokal and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with over 8 years experience in the mental health field. I have worked with individuals and families with many different needs and concerns. I have have specific experience working with individuals going through a life transition. This includes alcohol, drug, and other addictive behaviors; depression; anxiety; career changes; coping skills; identity; and trauma. I also am specifically sensitive to LGBTQ+, women's empowerment, and men's mental health specific needs.
I approach any of my clients as individuals and seek to learn what they are going through and use evidenced-based interventions towards their goals. My approach is specifically beneficial on this platform as I use a combination of psycho-education and psycho-therapy that my clients can do on their own and together throughout the week. I offer an authentic, empathetic, and warm approach that is also active and directive.
As a therapist, my goal is to encourage you towards a better you. I offer a safe, inviting, non-judgmental environment to help you in your personal growth.
You have the resources inside of you and I will help show you how to use them. If you are committed to creating a more fulfilling and meaningful life, I look forward to working with you.

Danica has been great and made me feel very comfortable. She has a lot of insight and made me feel better about the guilt Ive been carrying.

Danica is such a great listener and we connect so well on several levels! Love that she gives easy “homework” directly related to the goals and topics discussed.

I think Danica’s awesome! What a breath of fresh air- I didn’t have too many hopes when I first started therapy using better help- I thought it was going to be useless like my previous experience but it’s been awesome!!!

I really like talking to her - she is very professional, listens and actually understands your concerns in the modern age. Our mental health problems have also evolved and changed with the times we live in. But she is awesome! I would highly recommend her.
