About Dana

Dana Piergiovanni is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who draws on client-centered principles and practical strategies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and depression.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes collaboration and respect, creating a space in which individuals can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with acceptance and empathy to support clients through life transitions and emotional strain.

She has substantial experience working with the autism community and addresses concerns such as communication problems, caregiver stress, family conflict, divorce and separation, and anger. Dana often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused methods to set realistic goals and build concrete steps forward.

Clients work with her to develop practical coping skills and clearer communication so they can move toward more manageable routines and improved relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Dana commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management by teaching practical coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a respectful environment where clients guide the priorities of each session and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different strategies, refining goals, and combining techniques so the plan fits the client's situation and evolves over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own location and to use formats that suit their communication style and schedule.
