About Dana
Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She uses practical tools and plain talk to help parents and adults understand what is weighing them down and build clearer ways to cope. She draws on ten years of experience in schools and community settings to guide her work.
Her approach blends talk therapy with concrete skills people can use right away.
Background and approach
She teaches breathing exercises, simple mindfulness practices, and cognitive strategies to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. Movement and body-based practices are also part of sessions when they fit a person’s needs and goals. Dana spent over a decade working with children and teens in schools, supporting students with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and trauma.
That school work included writing IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention plans, and coordinating with educators to put plans into practice. She also brings lived experience as a parent of two sons with ADHD, which she says shaped her understanding of daily challenges for families and school systems.
Dana uses that perspective to help people navigate parenting demands, school advocacy, and everyday stressors. Sessions focus on teaching skills for emotion regulation, reducing panic and intrusive thoughts, and improving self-esteem and coping during life changes. She aims to teach clients how to become their own experts in mental health.
The goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better tools for handling difficult moments.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship first. It helps people feel heard and supported while they figure out goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, panic, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.Finding the right mix of these methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest approaches to try. Clients and the therapist check in together and adjust techniques so therapy matches each person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video offers a fuller face-to-face experience, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into workdays, school schedules, or parenting routines and make it easier to keep practicing skills between sessions.
