Dana works with social anxiety, communication struggles, caregiver burnout, women's issues, identity questions, and life purpose concerns.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical skills, and the client’s own story. People can expect a collaborative, respectful process that focuses on small changes that add up.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on building willingness to face uncomfortable thoughts while moving forward in meaningful directions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches skills to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work and the therapist follows the client’s lead.

Dana treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She listens to your goals and tries different techniques to see what fits. Together you decide which tools and methods feel most helpful for your situation and adjust as work progresses.

Dana offers telehealth appointments in morning and evening slots, which can make it easier to add sessions into a busy schedule. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a break, and make consistent weekly work more practical. Confirm the specific session formats available when you book so you know what to expect and how to plan for appointments.
