About Dana

Dana Miller is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also works with people coping with trauma, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is nervous about reaching out.

Dana keeps sessions focused and practical. She listens first, then tailors conversation and a plan to the person's specific situation. That plan may include short-term goals and coping tools to use between appointments.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavior techniques to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotion regulation skills. She also uses mindfulness exercises and solution-focused work to identify strengths and small steps forward.

With 13 years of clinical experience and an LMFT credential, Dana brings steady clinical experience without assuming one-size-fits-all solutions. She practices in Georgia and works in English.

Dana describes starting therapy as an act of courage. She aims to support people through that process by offering clear guidance, practical skills, and a thoughtful plan shaped by each person's goals and pace.

How Dana’s approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can use this approach to practice new thinking, set small goals, and track progress between meetings.

DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In teletherapy these skills are taught, rehearsed, and adapted to everyday situations a person faces outside sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying an approach briefly and adjusting based on what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Ask about the session length and how appointments are scheduled when you complete the matching questionnaire.
