About Dana

She offers direct, practical help and treats clients as experts on their own lives. Dana works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers sessions on clear goals and skills practice.
Dana begins by listening to what is happening now and what clients want to change. She helps people identify patterns in relationships and in eating behaviors. Conversations move toward small, manageable steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns after adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns. She also addresses substance use, co-occurring problems, and the emotional fallout of separation or domestic violence. Treatment covers both mood symptoms and practical relationship skills.
Dana frames progress in terms of skill-building and problem solving. She uses short-term tasks between sessions to reinforce new ways of coping. Sessions are straightforward, with an emphasis on what can be tried and reviewed in real life.
People who choose Dana typically want clear tools and steady support for pressing issues. To begin, clients complete an intake process that clarifies goals and the best next steps. She asks questions first and then offers options based on what the person brings to the room.

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and problem solving. For example, cognitive approaches look at how thoughts affect mood and behavior and teach ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. Behavioral strategies involve small, planned steps to change habits and reduce avoidance, which can help with anxiety and eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what works and adjust the plan as progress is observed.
