BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many of Dana’s methods are evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and strong emotions. These techniques help people build short-term tools to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.Another frequently used approach is trauma-informed care that emphasizes safety and pacing when addressing painful memories. This style helps people process past events while keeping attention on current coping and stability.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Dana will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. She helps clients evaluate what feels useful and what needs to change over time.
