About Dana
Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Dana blends talk therapy with mind-body tools to address negative thoughts and emotional ups and downs.
She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Dialectical skills and motivational interviewing also appear in her work to strengthen coping and keep goals on track.
Background and approach
Sessions include breathing exercises, grounding, and other simple practices to reduce overwhelm. Dana has about 10 years of experience in clinical settings and schools in Indiana. Much of that time was spent supporting school-aged clients with anxiety, depression, attention differences, trauma, and identity or self-worth concerns.
She has written educational plans and coordinated with school staff on behavior goals and supports. Her personal experience as a parent of children with ADHD informs her perspective. She combines that lived insight with clinical skills when helping people develop routines and strategies that fit daily life.
Dana also draws on yoga, breath work, and movement to help people regulate strong emotions. People who prefer straightforward guidance, practical tools, and collaborative planning may find her style helpful. She aims to teach skills clients can use between sessions and to work with each person on goals that matter to them.
How Dana’s Approach Translates to Online Care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s goals and lived experience, letting sessions follow what matters most to the client. This approach helps people name priorities and shape sessions around real-life needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few techniques, and adjust what’s helpful. That collaborative process aims to find approaches that fit the person’s preferences, schedule, and the problems they want to address.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people connect face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can use the format that fits their day and keeps progress moving forward.
