Dana Castillo , LPC

Dana Castillo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on supporting women through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and life changes. She welcomes conversations in English and Spanish and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and approachable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Her style is warm and non-judgmental. Sessions emphasize listening first, then practical steps that fit daily life. Clients can expect a steady, calm presence that helps them name feelings and explore next steps.

Dana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build tools for managing stress and anxiety. She helps people sort through relationship concerns, communication problems, and the emotional toll of divorce or separation. Work may include focusing on self-love, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose or money and financial stress.

Therapy with Dana centers on clear goals and small, doable changes. Conversations often lead to simple strategies clients can use between sessions to feel more in control. The approach blends emotional support with direct problem-solving.

Sessions are offered through online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for them, then proceed with a rhythm of sessions that fits their needs and availability.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Many of Dana's sessions use straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help with everyday struggles. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this helps people notice automatic thoughts and practice more balanced ways of thinking. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for stress and emotion management, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies to use when feeling overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Dana works together with each person to figure out what feels most useful based on their goals, current challenges, and personal preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and practical for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people connect face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
