About Dana
Dana Sloan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Dana writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Dana spends time learning what a person already knows about themselves and where they want to go. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and build kinder self-talk. Sessions often include developing routines and coping tools that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Her work covers grief, addiction concerns, and mood challenges as well as struggles with self-esteem. Dana also supports people facing midlife change and aging-related issues, helping them find purpose and steady routines. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, impulsivity, and social anxiety get in the way of daily life.
Over five years of clinical practice, Dana has assisted people through recovery from substance use and through complicated emotions after loss. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and delivered without judgment. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.
Dana offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule. She works in English from her Texas practice and is not accepting international clients. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match clients and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on noticing thoughts and changing unhelpful habits. One common approach she uses helps people identify automatic negative thoughts, test them, and replace them with more balanced thinking; this is helpful for anxiety and mood concerns. Another approach emphasizes building self-compassion and gradual behavioral steps to reduce avoidance and increase daily functioning, which can assist with social anxiety, shame, and impulse control.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and life rhythms. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant to what someone wants to change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to use the format that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
