Background and approach

She often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused steps to help people make concrete changes. Trauma-focused methods are included when past events are part of current struggles. Clients come to Dana for relationship strain, anxiety, stress, grief, anger, and depression.

She also helps with parenting concerns, communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. First responder issues and chronic illness or pain are noted areas of attention. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

She listens closely, offers insight, and at times challenges clients to try new ways of coping. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps that fit each person’s life. Dana supports people working through life changes, family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

She aims to help people feel more in control of day-to-day stress and to rebuild connection with others.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to you, helping you gain clarity and confidence in decisions. It works well for relationship worries, self-esteem struggles, and general stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dana takes a collaborative approach to finding the right methods. She will work with each person to choose which techniques fit their goals, whether that means practicing CBT tools, using trauma-focused methods, or taking a solution-focused path. Together they set clear goals and check progress over time to see what helps.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or steady contact between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, or other commitments and let therapists use the same tools they would in person.
