About Dana

Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people who are stressed, anxious, or coping with big life changes. She welcomes plain talk and practical tools, and focuses on building skills people can use day to day. Dana works from Indiana and draws on a mix of talk-based and body-centered methods to reduce overwhelming feelings.

She uses client-centered care to listen and shape therapy around each person’s goals.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Dialectical and mindfulness skills help with emotional regulation and staying present when feelings feel intense. Before moving into broader practice, Dana spent over a decade in school settings as a counselor and social worker.

That work brought many chances to support students with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and childhood trauma. She also has experience writing IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention plans and collaborating with school staff to put those supports into place.

Dana has recent hands-on parenting experience raising two sons with ADHD, which she says informs how she thinks about behavior, routines, and family systems. She combines talk therapy with breath work, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, and other mind-body exercises when those tools fit a person’s needs. Clients can expect straightforward education about mental health and practical strategies to manage emotions.

Dana aims to help people improve self-regulation, strengthen self-worth, and set realistic goals for change.

How Dana Uses Practical Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps shape sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach is useful when people need validation and a clear plan for change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Dana uses CBT to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be helpful when feelings escalate quickly or when someone wants steadier reactions to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly to adjust the plan so it stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, goal reminders, and ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life.
