About Dana

Dana Fritche is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin who brings four years of clinical mental health and substance abuse counseling experience to her work.

Background and approach

She draws on a background in social work to support people facing challenges such as addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and low self-esteem. Dana emphasizes client strengths and collaborates with each person to build motivation and confidence as they pursue change.

Her approach centers on meeting clients where they are and honoring the client as the expert on their own life. Dana frames seeking help as a brave first step and offers guidance while fostering personal agency, practical coping skills, and clearer goals.

She also addresses relationship concerns, grief, trauma-related issues, and a range of life stressors, tailoring methods to suit individual needs and priorities. In sessions she integrates evidence-based tools and compassionate support to help people navigate emotion regulation, impulsivity, substance use, and patterns that undermine well-being.

Dana aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore values, heal from setbacks, and work toward a more satisfying, stable daily life.

Approaches and Adaptability in Online Therapy

This therapist commonly blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help clients address emotion regulation, problematic behaviors, and thinking patterns. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building on each person's strengths to support growth and self-directed change. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity while improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist works with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, values, and daily life. Goals and techniques are revisited over time so the plan evolves as needs change and progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow the therapeutic work to continue in ways that fit a client's routines and responsibilities.
