About Dana
Dana Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) licensed in Georgia with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family concerns, eating issues, and depression. Dana works directly with people who are dealing with everyday pressures alongside more complex situations like adoption and foster care histories or attachment concerns.
She helps clients talk through relationship problems and communication struggles. She also supports people facing body image and eating related issues, and those navigating separation or divorce. Her background includes work with substance use, domestic violence, and blended family dynamics.
Sessions are practical and oriented toward real-life problems. Dana treats clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are straightforward and focused on steps that fit daily life.
Over her ten years of practice she has worked across a range of family systems and individual concerns, including co-morbidity where more than one issue is present at once. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address control issues, commitment worries, abandonment and attachment themes.
People who contact her can expect a direct, down-to-earth approach that connects concrete coping strategies to the problems they bring. She encourages small, manageable changes and practical communication skills that can be practiced between sessions.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on concrete skills and practical changes. Cognitive behavioral approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety, using clear exercises and homework. Attachment-informed methods look at patterns in relationships and communication, helping people notice and change interaction cycles that contribute to conflict and emotional distance.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, challenges, and daily routines, and together they will choose which techniques to try first. This is a collaborative process that may shift as needs change.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins that work around work or family commitments. Some formats tend to use less bandwidth or allow audio-only conversations, which can help when a quick, focused session is needed. Ask about session length and format when scheduling so arrangements match your everyday life and goals.
