Dana Andrews, LCSW

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy in Dana’s practice emphasizes listening and working from the client’s own priorities, creating a collaborative space where goals and values guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for relationship concerns and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dana works together with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration allows adjustment of techniques over time so the plan remains relevant and responsive to progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote work. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while maintaining continuity of care across changing life circumstances. The variety of session types also allows clients to select the communication mode that feels most comfortable for practicing skills and staying engaged.
