How Dana’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist encourages people to speak freely and helps them identify what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship concerns, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and practice tasks to reduce anxious thinking and change unhelpful behaviors, which can help with worry, low mood, and anger.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims to build small, practical changes fast. It concentrates on strengths and steps people can take now to move toward their goals, making it a good fit for coping with life changes and specific problems.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the early work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This helps create a plan that feels realistic and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging give flexible, quick ways to share updates or get brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
