About Dana
Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. She blends practical talk therapy with mind-body techniques to address negative thinking, intrusive thoughts, and emotional regulation.
Background and approach
With ten years of professional experience, she draws on interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and other skills-based approaches to support clients working through depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma, and relationship or family difficulties.
Her background includes extensive work with children and adolescents in school settings, where she supported students with anxiety, PTSD, childhood trauma, self-esteem and identity challenges, and behavioral needs.
That school-based experience is complemented by personal insight gained as a parent of two children diagnosed with ADHD, and by hands-on involvement creating and implementing IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention goals with families and school teams.
Dana also incorporates yoga, breath work, progressive muscle relaxation, and motivational strategies into a holistic plan that emphasizes education, self-regulation skills, and gradual change. She seeks to collaborate with clients to set goals, build coping skills, and strengthen resilience over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Clients can expect a practical blend of approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to change mood and behavior; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist supports the client’s own goals and insights, which can help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and personal growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, anger, and self-harm concerns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively to tailor techniques to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often begin with an assessment of what is most pressing and then integrate strategies that feel manageable and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or other locations that fit their schedule. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and access care without commuting, while still working with licensed professionals to build coping skills and track progress.
