About Dana
Dana Juarez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma. She brings nine years in mental health and a direct, task-focused style shaped by two decades of military service. Dana centers sessions on the client's goals and uses empathy and clear guidance to help people make changes.
Dana blends practical strategies with trauma-aware care. She often uses client-centered methods to listen and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR are part of her approach for people working through traumatic memories, anxiety, anger, or depression.
Background and approach
Her work suits people who want straightforward, goal-focused help. She will encourage, offer insight, and sometimes gently challenge clients to try new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s priorities guide the plan.
Dana addresses relationship strain, family problems, parenting stress, grief, intimacy issues, and anger. She also focuses on attachment wounds, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder concerns. This range lets her tailor techniques to the situation.
In sessions she uses short-term tools and longer trauma processing depending on needs. Conversations are practical and grounded. Clients leave with clear steps they can try between sessions to manage stress and improve communication.
Dana welcomes people ready for honest work toward change and growth. She helps set realistic goals, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays focused and useful.

How Dana Uses Different Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify what matters most and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Dana uses CBT to help people test unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for anxiety, anger, and low mood. EMDR is used when traumatic memories are getting in the way of daily life. The method involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of vivid memories and their emotional charge, which can ease symptoms tied to trauma. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans can change as progress is made so therapy stays useful. Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when a deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be shorter or fit during a break, and they work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging provide a way to check in between sessions or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above.Questions people ask about Dana
