How Dana’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people can set their own goals and make decisions that fit their life. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through hard choices and strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase focus. Practicing short exercises can help with overwhelm, anger, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session logistics vary, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions. Those practical benefits often help people keep progress moving forward.
