About Dana

Dana Andrews uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard times. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience and works from New York. Dana keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the issues you bring in.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety by breaking problems into small, manageable steps. Dana also supports those facing depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Conversations aim to increase clarity, reduce overwhelm, and build practical coping skills.

Background and approach

Relationships and intimacy concerns are a regular focus. Dana listens closely to communication problems and helps people identify patterns that get in the way. She offers tools to improve connection, set boundaries, and handle difficult conversations.

Trauma, abuse, and bipolar-related concerns are addressed with attention to safety and pacing. Dana blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to boost awareness and motivation.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Dana works with clients to set realistic goals and track progress over time. English-language care is provided via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and heard. Online sessions allow the therapist to follow the client's lead, ask clarifying questions, and develop goals that matter to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In video or messaging formats CBT techniques can be taught in short, practical exercises that people can try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skill-based practices work well over phone or text when someone needs quick coaching or reminders.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That choice can change over time as new issues come up or as skills strengthen.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or staying engaged between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
