About Dana
Dana creates a welcoming space where clients can talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgment. She emphasizes listening first and then finding concrete ways to change patterns that cause distress. Sessions often focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps forward.
Her background includes work with people navigating relationship and parenting concerns, as well as supporting members of the autism community. Dana has spent time helping caregivers manage stress and improving communication during times of family change like separation or divorce.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s experience and to guide collaborative planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term goal setting and practical strategies to move toward what matters most.
Dana brings 12 years of experience to her practice. She encourages people to take small steps toward change and stays focused on what will help day to day. To start, responders complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Dana’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client, which can help when feeling stuck by stress, anger, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thinking and to practice different ways of responding to anxiety, low mood, or anger.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on short-term goals and small changes that lead to visible progress. It is useful when someone wants specific steps to address a problem and see results quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients help set priorities and decide which strategies to try first.
Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Those practical benefits often make consistent progress easier.
