About Dwana
Dwana Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has 11 years of experience helping people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and big life changes. Dwana keeps things straightforward in sessions.
She listens, helps identify patterns that make life harder, and works with each person to try new ways of coping. Conversations focus on practical steps people can use between appointments to reduce stress and manage worry.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on communication problems, parenting pressures, and the strain caregivers face. She also supports people navigating separation or divorce and young adults facing transitional challenges. The emphasis is on clear strategies and building skills that fit daily life.
Clients can expect a warm, respectful space where their experience is heard and taken seriously. Dwana prioritizes collaboration, asking about goals and tailoring sessions to what feels most useful. Progress is approached as a series of small, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.
In sessions she combines attentive listening with practical problem solving. That can include making plans for difficult conversations, practicing coping tools for anxiety, or breaking big transitions into manageable steps. Her aim is to help people feel more steady and capable as they move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing thought patterns and building coping skills that people can practice outside sessions. Cognitive-based approaches help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood; they are useful for worry, stress, and depression. Skill-building and problem-solving methods teach concrete steps for managing overwhelming moments, improving communication, and handling parenting or caregiver challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps, adjust techniques, and set clear, practical goals for progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and longer sessions. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who want to reflect in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and keep continuity when life gets busy.
