About Dana
Dana uses straightforward, goal-focused methods to help people manage life changes and strengthen organization and motivation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and Solution-Focused ideas to zero in on small, practical steps toward a preferred future. Internal Family Systems work informs how she helps clients understand different parts of themselves and shift internal roles.
She structures sessions around each person’s needs and pace. Conversations aim to find strengths, set clear goals, and try specific strategies that fit day-to-day life. Dana describes herself as warm and accepting and emphasizes respect and sensitivity in the room.
Dana can include a spiritual perspective when clients request it, and she has education in Biblical perspectives to support that work. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and instead tailors dialogue and next steps to each client’s situation.
Her approach suits people who want hands-on help getting organized, improving confidence, handling family tensions, or managing anger. She focuses on helping clients move toward the life they want in small, achievable steps.

How Dana’s approaches guide online work
Dana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then try practical changes to see what helps. CBT is useful for anger, low self-esteem, and managing ADHD-related routines.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows attention to clear goals and small, doable steps toward the life someone wants. This approach is action-oriented and helpful for coping with life changes and parenting concerns. Internal Family Systems is used to map inner parts and their roles so clients can shift unhelpful patterns and build internal cooperation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods and try them, adjusting as needed to find a good fit.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed in this profile. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Many people find that goal-focused, skills-based work translates well to remote sessions when scheduling needs to match family and work life.
