Dana Teeter

Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. She uses straightforward methods to address negative thoughts, coping skills, and emotional regulation. Dana brings ten years of experience in school settings and practical insight from parenting children with ADHD.

She draws on talk therapy alongside mind-body tools. These include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, breath work, yoga practices, and progressive muscle relaxation. Dana combines these tools to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways to respond to strong emotions.

Much of her background is working with children and adolescents in schools as both a counselor and social worker. That work focused on anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, childhood trauma, identity and self-worth challenges. She has written IEPs, 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and collaborated with school staff and caregivers on implementation.

Her personal experience parenting two sons with ADHD informs her practical approach. Dana emphasizes teaching skills people can use between sessions, like breathing techniques and grounding exercises. She is Yogafit certified and a Revelation Wellness instructor and often suggests movement and breath work alongside talk-based therapy.

Dana aims to help people set clear goals and build emotional regulation skills. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where education and small practice steps lead to steady change. Prospective clients are encouraged to discuss goals and match on a plan that fits their life and needs.

Practical approaches for online care and skill building

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist creates a supportive tone, asks about what matters to the client, and helps people set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing steady routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, life demands, and personal preferences. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits real life and clear goals.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered for this clinician. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving. It can shorten travel time, allow focused skill practice between meetings, and make regular check-ins simpler to schedule. Many people find online sessions helpful for maintaining progress and practicing behavioral strategies in day-to-day settings.
