How Dana's approaches adapt to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you set goals that feel relevant. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus when appropriate.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana will talk with you about your goals, try out different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. Expect the therapist and you to revisit goals and methods so the work matches your needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats when you book. Many people find that remote work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Dana after the match to arrange sessions that best fit your schedule and daily life.
