About Dana
Dana Schneider-Kovach is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky with nine years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with substance use. Dana focuses on practical ways to rebuild confidence and find direction when life feels stuck.
She approaches care with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are collaborative - Dana listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses clear, down-to-earth language and keeps sessions focused on what matters to the client. Dana draws on several therapy methods to match the work to a person’s needs. She teaches tools to manage upsetting thoughts, cope with cravings, and respond differently to painful memories.
Mindfulness and present-moment skills are used to reduce reactivity and build calm. People often come to her for help with caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, and healing after sexual assault or other trauma. She also has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and post-traumatic stress.
Progress is paced to each person’s readiness and real-life constraints. Sessions are offered in English and take place online in a range of formats. Dana encourages people to take the small first step of completing a short matching questionnaire so she can learn about goals and begin planning helpful next steps.
How Dana’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to the person and on small committed actions that move life in that direction, useful for anxiety and life-purpose work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with cravings by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention to body and breath. These skills help reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of Dana’s process. She will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and then adjust that plan as progress is made. The approach is collaborative and flexible rather than fixed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice tools in real-world moments.
