How Dana Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Dana commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based skills are useful when strong emotions or ongoing conflict make it hard to respond clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dana works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may blend techniques and check in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.
