About Dana
Dana Fritche is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin. She brings four years of clinical mental health and substance abuse counseling experience to her work and a total of seven years in social work. Dana emphasizes practical steps and steady support when people reach out for change.
She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related concerns. Dana also supports people facing low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her practice includes help for intimacy and relationship struggles, body image and eating-related issues, and career or life-purpose questions. Dana uses straightforward, person-focused conversation. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and builds on existing strengths.
Sessions aim to clarify goals, test new strategies, and practice skills that fit daily life. Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally focused work, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to address unwanted behaviors, manage intense feelings, and improve communication.
People who come to Dana often want practical tools and calm guidance. She helps them try small changes, cope with setbacks, and find clearer direction. The first step is deciding what matters most and then working steadily toward that goal.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on what already works in a person's life. It helps people feel heard and keeps the conversation focused on their goals and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps with anxiety, depression, and patterns people want to change by teaching step-by-step skills and experiments to try between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. It is useful when impulsivity, anger, or strong mood swings make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and practice communication skills, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be scheduled for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent exchanges and can help keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue working on goals from wherever someone is located, within the same state.
