About Dana
Dana Brennan is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, facing big changes, or dealing with ongoing stress and anxiety. Dana works from Delaware and holds a LCSW credential.
Her approach is client-centered and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps that fit each person's life. Conversations are direct but compassionate, with attention to what feels most urgent for the individual.
Background and approach
Dana helps people with a wide range of concerns, including relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, substance issues, grief, and challenges around identity and sexuality. She also supports people coping with career stress, caregiver strain, body image, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. In sessions she uses evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and build new skills.
That might mean learning ways to manage anxiety, practicing healthier communication, or working through grief and loss. The work is collaborative: she offers tools and helps people decide what to try next. People who prefer straightforward guidance and practical strategies tend to do well with her style.
Dana aims to make therapy a useful part of everyday life, not just a place to talk. She invites clients to set the pace and to focus on changes that matter most to them.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Evidence-based cognitive and behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. These methods teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, improving mood, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life. Trauma-informed care emphasizes safety, pacing, and attention to how past hurts affect current reactions. This approach helps people process distressing memories and build coping skills at a pace that feels manageable. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing connection between sessions and can be useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so people can pick how they want to engage while working on relationships, trauma recovery, stress management, or other concerns.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
