About Dana
Dana Rivera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, anger, and major life changes including fertility challenges and postpartum struggles. She also works with caregiver stress, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and women’s health-related concerns.
Dana’s own fertility loss and pregnancy experiences influenced her decision to shift clinical focus. That lived experience informs how she listens and responds to people facing similar challenges. Sessions often address the emotional fallout of loss, the pressure to keep functioning, and the slow work of redefining identity after a significant life event.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions can include talking through current problems, learning coping tools for stress and anxiety, and planning small steps toward clearer goals at work or in relationships. Some meetings are direct and solution-focused; others are quieter and centered on processing grief or confusion.
Dana pays attention to the everyday realities that affect mental health - work demands, finances, caregiving load, and medical experiences related to fertility or childbirth. She aims to help people sort priorities, set boundaries, and rebuild routines that support well-being.
People who come to Dana often want straightforward help with life transitions, relief from persistent stress, or space to grieve and rethink next steps. To begin, clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Dana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine problem-focused work with emotional processing. One common approach is goal-oriented problem solving, which helps identify immediate steps to reduce stress, manage workload, or address relationship strains. This method is useful for career concerns and practical life changes.She also uses techniques that focus on processing loss and strong emotions, which involve naming feelings, pacing the work, and building tolerance for difficult memories. These methods are helpful for grief, pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, and trauma-related reactions.
Finding the best approach is part of the early work. Dana collaborates with each person to test methods, adjust pace, and decide which tools fit their goals and daily life. She frames therapy as a shared process rather than a fixed set of steps.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit into work or caregiving schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a busy week. Others prefer methods that allow shorter check-ins or sessions focused on planning next steps. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to make sure it matches your routine.
