About Dana
Dana Teeter, LCSW, offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or parenting challenges. She focuses on helping individuals manage intrusive thoughts, negative thinking, and strong emotions in everyday life. Her style combines talk therapy with simple mind-body tools so people can find clearer footing and breathe more easily.
Dana brings 10 years of experience working in schools as a counselor and social worker. Much of that work involved supporting students with anxiety, depression, ADHD, post-traumatic stress, and childhood trauma. She has written IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention plans, and has collaborated with school staff and families to put those plans into practice.
In addition to school-based care, Dana has eight years of hands-on parenting experience raising two sons diagnosed with ADHD. That perspective informs how she advises on routines, self-regulation, and behavior planning for children and teens. She also draws on movement practices she uses personally, such as yoga, breath work, and progressive muscle relaxation.
Dana uses a blend of clinical approaches including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions often include education about thought patterns, skill practice, and simple body-based exercises to reduce stress responses.
Her aim is to help people learn tools they can use between sessions. She emphasizes collaboration, teaching, and practical strategies so clients can manage mood, panic symptoms, parenting strain, and life transitions with more confidence.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps build insight and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms.These approaches are practical and skill oriented. Dana uses them to teach coping strategies for anxiety, panic symptoms, mood concerns, and stress. She combines talking with simple body-based practices like breathing exercises and mindfulness so tools can be used between meetings. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process - the therapist and client will try options and agree on what fits the person’s needs and goals.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The main practical benefit is fitting sessions into a busy life - therapy can be scheduled around work, school, or family time. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills in real-life settings, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals help adapt techniques so they work in the context of your daily routine.
