About Dana
Dana DeHart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 21 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She focuses on practical steps people can try to feel more capable in day-to-day life. Dana writes that clients are the experts on their stories and brings a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to sessions.
She uses structured methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests new ways of responding. That can mean setting short, concrete goals between sessions and trying small behavior changes. Sessions tend to emphasize clear strategies rather than abstract discussion.
Dana also incorporates EMDR when appropriate to help with trauma-related symptoms and uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about change. Solution-focused techniques help break big problems into manageable next steps. These methods are used alongside client-centered work that keeps the person’s priorities central.
Practical concerns like sleep, eating, work stress, parenting strain, and relationship friction are common topics. Dana also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. She helps clients notice patterns and practice new responses over time.
She communicates availability windows for messages and encourages prospective clients to pick a first session to assess fit. People new to therapy are guided toward concrete first steps and review clear options for moving forward.
How Dana Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
People can expect practical use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in an online setting. CBT is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress by giving clear steps to practice between sessions. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories through guided sequences and can reduce trauma-related reactions when it is appropriate to the person’s needs.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She listens to goals and preferences, explains options like CBT or EMDR, and works together with the client to decide what to try first. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.
