She listens for what matters most to each person, then helps set realistic goals and steps to reach them. The work can include learning new ways to manage strong emotions, improving relationships, or coping with big life changes. People who choose Dana can expect a warm, direct style that values honesty and resilience.
She welcomes LGBTQ concerns and draws on her years of experience to tailor sessions to each person’s situation.

Online support
Approaches to change you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, or when life feels aimless.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms. It tends to work well for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. Mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness skills can be especially helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video calls let people speak face to face; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter conversations, or when someone prefers typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or travel.
