About Dana
Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, and parenting concerns. Dana uses practical tools and conversation to help people feel more steady in day-to-day life.
Dana brings ten years of experience, much of it in school settings supporting children and teens. She has worked with students facing anxiety, trauma, attention differences, mood disorders, and struggles with identity and self-worth.
Background and approach
Those years shaped her straightforward style and her focus on teaching concrete skills. Her approach blends talk therapy with body-focused methods. She integrates Somatic work, breathing exercises, mindfulness, and movement alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques.
Sessions often include skill practice, grounding exercises, and brief experiential activities to help manage intense feelings. Dana also draws on personal experience as a parent of children diagnosed with ADHD. That perspective informs how she talks about school plans, behavior supports, and working with education teams to set goals and strategies.
She has experience with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 plans, and behavior intervention plans. Clients can expect a collaborative, teaching-oriented process. Dana emphasizes building practical routines, emotion regulation skills, and clearer thinking about goals.
She aims to help people learn tools they can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
How therapy approaches meet your life online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how stress and strong emotions show up in the body. Techniques might include breath regulation, gentle movement, and grounding exercises that reduce physical tension and help with anxiety or trauma symptoms.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's own goals. The therapist offers empathy and guidance while the person leads what they want to work on, which can help with self-esteem, grief, and finding direction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can change over time as new skills are learned and situations evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility. It allows people to fit sessions into busy schedules and to practice skills in their everyday settings. These options make it easier to stay consistent with therapy and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
