About Dana

Dana Phillips brings a client-centered approach to her counseling, emphasizing respect, empathy, and collaborative work.

Background and approach

As an LPC with ten years of professional experience in New Jersey, she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, eating and body image difficulties, addiction, bipolar challenges, and ADHD.

Her practice blends evidence-based techniques with a humane, strength-based perspective to help clients build coping skills and move toward meaningful change. Her background includes substantial work in school and community settings focused on prevention, intervention, and referral for substance use and emotional health needs.

That experience informs her practical focus on organization, time management, crisis response, and family dynamics, as well as specialized areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and codependency.

Dana emphasizes open dialogue and trust in the therapeutic relationship, partnering with clients who are committed to growth and ready to explore new strategies for well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and emphasizes empathy and collaboration; this approach helps people explore values, build trust, and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related organization and time management, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine which methods fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients can expect to discuss what feels most helpful and to adapt techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits including greater scheduling flexibility and access from home or other convenient locations. Dana provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication styles and life demands, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
