About Dana

Dana Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem and depression. Her practice also includes concerns such as motivation, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related issues.

In sessions she uses straightforward, person-focused conversation to help people sort through what is happening now. She listens to what matters most and helps people set small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Clients can expect a focus on real-life problems like work stress, money worries, and changes in relationships.

Over a decade of work has included a range of presenting concerns. Dana draws on approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She combines these to match the problem being addressed rather than relying on a single method.

She also attends to issues that arise from culture, immigration, and life transitions. Discussions may cover communication problems, career choices, and questions about life purpose. Conversations are meant to be direct and practical, aimed at helping people regain a sense of forward motion.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect the everyday pressures of work, family, and money. To begin, a short questionnaire and a first session help clarify goals and next steps.

BHow sessions work

Approach and how online sessions support it

She often uses client-centered methods, which focus on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. This approach helps people clarify their concerns and set concrete goals for change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. CBT offers specific skills for managing anxiety, depression, and problems like low self-esteem. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used for managing strong emotions and improving communication through skills such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will discuss which methods match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust over time. The decision about which tools to use is collaborative and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people try therapeutic exercises from their everyday settings and bring real situations into the conversation for immediate problem-solving.
