Background and approach
She has worked in treatment facilities, crisis management, consultation, and clinical supervision before moving into independent practice. That background shapes a steady, experienced approach to care. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and straightforward.
Sessions focus on understanding what’s causing pain and building skills to manage it. Dana weaves practical tools into conversations so people can try things between sessions and see what helps. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
Dana also uses client-centered work to honor each person’s story and goals. These approaches are mixed to fit each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone. People who come for help can expect a collaborative relationship.
Dana emphasizes clear goals, real-world strategies, and steady support while people work through difficult emotions and life changes.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits that feed anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will talk with each person about goals and preferences and mix methods to match their needs. The plan is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is wanted. Phone sessions or live chat can fit a short check-in during a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, or travel.
