About Dana

Dana Wogahn is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage anger and related concerns. She works with issues like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem, trauma and compassion fatigue. Dana uses a client-directed style where the person's goals lead the work. She takes a straightforward approach in sessions. Clients are invited to say what helps and what does not. Dana adjusts session style based on that feedback so the work fits each person's needs. Sessions can include listening, practical feedback, and gentle interpretation when helpful. Dana aims to create space for people to process difficult feelings and practice new ways of responding to triggers and conflict. Over five years of clinical work in California inform her practice. That experience shapes how she guides people through life changes and long-standing patterns that fuel anger and distress. Her therapy is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients set the pace and decide whether they want challenge, support, or a mix of both. Dana focuses on small changes that build better coping over time.

How evidence-based techniques are used online

Many therapists draw from evidence-based techniques to address anger, anxiety and trauma. One common approach focuses on skill-building for managing strong emotions - teaching practical steps to notice triggers, reduce immediate reactivity, and choose different responses. This helps with anger, stress reactions, and everyday conflicts. Another helpful method works on processing past painful events in a paced way so upsetting memories feel less overwhelming. That kind of work can reduce triggers that feed anger and distress over time. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which techniques fit best, based on goals, needs, and how someone prefers to work. Sessions are adjusted as feedback comes in so the plan evolves. Confirm the exact online session options before you book, since this profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life transitions. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be delivered.
