About Dana

Dana Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker who blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with a warm, client-centered stance to help people manage life’s challenges. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and dialectical behavioral techniques to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation concerns.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, Dana focuses on supporting clients through relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse recovery, career and life-purpose questions, and complex concerns such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Clients work collaboratively with Dana to explore patterns of thinking and behavior, learn skills for coping with strong emotions, and develop clearer communication and decision-making.

She also attends to situational pressures like immigration-related stress, family conflict, financial worries, and multicultural concerns. Dana aims to create an open therapeutic space where people can share honestly and build practical tools for change.

Licensed as an LCSW in New York, Dana approaches each case with empathy and structured strategies tailored to individual goals. Her practice emphasizes gradual skill-building, improved self-awareness, and realistic steps toward greater well-being.

How Dana’s Approaches Work Online



Dana integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that translate well to remote care. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Client-centered work prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore values, motivation, and self-understanding in a supportive atmosphere. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when needed to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings.

Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process. Dana will work alongside the client to determine which strategies best match their goals, adjusting techniques over time based on progress and preferences. This partnership helps ensure that the therapeutic plan fits the client’s priorities and everyday routines.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access care from home or work, supporting continuity and practical integration of therapeutic tools into daily life.
