About Dana

Dana Hall is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictive behaviors, and ADHD among other challenges.

Background and approach

With 20 years of experience in education, crisis management, and clinical settings, she combines practical strategies with compassionate support to help clients regain functioning and meaning. Dana emphasizes addressing root causes while building sustainable coping skills tailored to each person’s situation.

Her approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and strength-focused, prioritizing a therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and transparency. She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles to meet a range of emotional and relational needs.

Dana’s background includes program development, supervisory roles, and extensive clinical work that inform a flexible, integrated model of care. Clients can expect attention to practical tools such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness alongside exploration of life purpose and coping with major life changes.

Dana welcomes diverse identities and follows standards of care for transgender clients through professional association involvement, offering an empathetic space for people seeking clarity, skill development, and lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take committed action aligned with what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical problem-solving skills for mood, anxiety, and coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance to strengthen day-to-day functioning and relationships.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the approach over time so treatment matches evolving needs and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple communication options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care across locations, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located, while still using evidence-based strategies tailored to individual concerns.
