About Dana
Dana Spigener is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with addictions, mood challenges, anxiety, and relationship strain. He provides calm, straightforward support for panic disorder and panic attacks alongside issues like anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
He aims to make the first step easier. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. He invites clients to share thoughts and feelings without judgment and works at a pace that feels manageable.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then he helps people try small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. He often addresses communication skills, coping strategies, and ways to rebuild motivation and self-worth.
Dana has worked across clinical settings for more than a decade and brings that experience to each appointment. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person in front of him rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
People reach out when life feels stuck, when panic attacks make daily routines hard, or when relationships and mood trouble feel like too much. He welcomes international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on clear, teachable skills. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses to reduce anxiety and panic. These skills are practical and work well in conversational sessions aimed at everyday challenges.Behavioral strategies are another common option that involve gradual practice. This might include pacing exposure to feared situations, practicing breathing and grounding exercises, or setting small activity goals to lift mood. These steps are concrete and measurable, which helps track progress week to week.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time in a collaborative way.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that helps someone focus more on conversation than on being on camera.
