About Dana
Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She focuses on practical skills that people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control. Dana uses plain talk and a calm presence to make difficult topics easier to handle.
She blends talk therapy with body-centered practices like breath work, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are part of her regular approach to shift unhelpful thinking and ease strong emotions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and motivational interviewing also appear when they fit a person’s goals. Dana draws on about 10 years of clinical experience and time spent working in school settings with children and teens.
That background includes supporting students with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and childhood trauma, and helping with self-esteem, identity, and emotional regulation. She also has practical experience writing IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention plans and collaborating with school staff to implement them. Her personal experience parenting two sons diagnosed with ADHD has influenced her perspective on attention and behavior struggles.
Dana emphasizes teaching skills, offering education about how the brain changes, and helping people become experts in their own mental health. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with an emphasis on building tools that fit everyday life. People who want clear strategies, approachable guidance, and a mix of talk and movement-based techniques often find her style useful.
She aims to help clients set realistic goals and practice skills between sessions to steady mood and improve coping.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals, creating space to talk through what matters most and decide what to work on together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs and goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That collaborative process means the style of sessions can shift over time to match changing needs.
Online therapy makes these methods easier to use in daily life. Video calls allow real-time discussion and demonstrations of breathing or grounding exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, ask questions between sessions, and practice new skills in the moment. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping the focus on building skills that help with anger, anxiety, and stress management.
