About D'Anna
D'Anna Ready is an LCSW and a therapist who focuses on anxiety, grief, depression, and stress. She helps people who are facing life changes, struggling with self-esteem, or needing support after loss. Her approach aims to calm overwhelming thoughts and build steady coping skills.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside attachment-focused work. That combination is used to spot old patterns that still affect daily life. Sessions often include practical ways to manage panic, intrusive thoughts, and mood swings.
Background and approach
D'Anna pays attention to spiritual and faith concerns when those matters are important to the person in the room. She also helps people who feel isolated or who are wrestling with guilt, shame, or commitment questions. The goal is to strengthen self-trust and resilience, not just short-term relief.
Her background includes ten years working with adults on issues such as obsessive and compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, and end-of-life concerns. She has experience supporting people through hospice and grief-related work and with aging and geriatric issues. In sessions she balances support with gentle challenge.
Practical skills are taught and practiced so changes can stick. People leave with tools to handle everyday stressors and a clearer sense of their next steps.
Approaches that calm the mind and rebuild confidence
Evidence-based techniques here focus on practical change. One approach helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by breaking problems into small, manageable steps. This method is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms. Another strand of work focuses on attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps people understand why they feel disconnected or fearful in relationships and develop new, healthier ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will try methods that fit the person and adjust them over time in collaboration with the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use different formats for different needs, such as longer video sessions for skills work and quick messages for brief progress notes.
