About Dana
Dana DeHart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 21 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns adults bring from home, such as stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, and parenting worries. Dana also works with issues like grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, and coping with life changes.
She frames therapy around the client's perspective and strengths. Dana listens and helps people talk through what feels hardest. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical rather than full of clinical jargon.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through motivation and confidence challenges. She draws on methods that aim to change unhelpful thoughts and habits and to process difficult memories when needed. That mix lets her move between short-term problem solving and deeper work.
People often come to Dana for real-life problems at home and work, such as managing anger, dealing with bipolar mood swings, or navigating career stress alongside parenting demands. She uses tools to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and measure progress over time.
Dana checks messages early in the morning and again in the late afternoon. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online steps.
How sessions work
How Dana uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and recognizing the client's own goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them use their strengths to solve problems. This approach suits people who want a respectful, collaborative space to talk through family and parenting pressures.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks big problems into concrete steps, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and managing anger. EMDR is used to process distressing memories; it aims to reduce the intensity of those memories so they interfere less with daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skills practice, or deeper memory-focused work.r>
