About Dana
Dana Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who combines a compassionate, practical style with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, motivation, and self-esteem concerns. Dana creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most to them.
She uses straightforward techniques drawn from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions often involve looking at unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing are added when people want concrete strategies for focus and follow-through. Dana has worked across a variety of concerns, including relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, and coping with life changes. Her background also includes supporting people facing trauma, immigration-related stress, multicultural issues, and financial worries.
She brings ten years of practice to these problems without relying on jargon. People often come for help with ADHD-related challenges such as organization and focus, and Dana integrates practical coaching-style steps alongside therapy. She also offers support around bipolar symptoms, personality concerns, and self-love work.
The approach is collaborative. Dana helps clients set realistic goals, track small wins, and adjust plans when needed. Sessions are aimed at building skills that people can use between meetings.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each person's priorities. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and ADHD-related routines that benefit from structure.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. These skills can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and building better daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, homework, or coaching-style guidance between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
