About Dana
Dana Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 10 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation, self-esteem, and depression. Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career questions.
Dana uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens to what feels stuck and then helps people test different ways of thinking and acting. That can include learning specific skills for managing strong emotions and noticing patterns that undermine confidence.
She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered talking, mindfulness exercises, and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants support to make changes such as shifting routines or tackling career goals.
Dana often focuses on real-life problems like communication difficulties, family tensions, immigration-related stress, money worries, and questions about life purpose. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and to issues common to young adults and women.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. People who work with Dana typically create small, doable steps between appointments. That approach is meant to help clients notice what changes actually make life easier and build on those gains.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Online work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to track thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on noticing automatic thoughts, trying different responses, and practicing small experiments to see what changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and helping the person set their own goals. That approach creates room to discuss relationships, life purpose, and career choices. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are offered for managing intense emotions and building practical coping skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dana will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
