About Dana
Dana Wogahn is a licensed clinical social worker in California with five years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as anger, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship struggles, LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Dana centers each session on the person's needs and feedback so work stays practical and relevant.
Dana uses a client-centered style. She asks what helps and what does not, then adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.
Background and approach
Sessions can include listening, constructive feedback, and discussion to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. The aim is straightforward: make sessions useful for everyday life. She encourages short-term goals and step-by-step changes.
People often leave with clear ideas to try between sessions. Dana pays attention to how emotions show up in daily situations and helps build simple tools for handling them. Dana also supports people dealing with the fallout of trauma and chronic stress.
She works to create a calm, respectful space where concerns can be named and understood. Over time, she helps people strengthen their coping skills and sense of self. Practical matters are handled clearly.
Sessions are paced to match what each person needs, and Dana invites ongoing feedback so the work stays tailored. Her approach suits people who want direct, adaptable support for managing anger and related concerns.
What Dana works with
Everything Dana lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Dana's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Many people find brief, focused techniques helpful for anger, stress, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms. One approach focuses on recognizing triggers and practicing new responses in small steps - it helps people change automatic reactions and try different behaviors. Another approach teaches simple emotion regulation and coping skills that can be used whenever strong feelings arise; these tools are practical for handling daily stress and intense moments. Both approaches rely on active practice and feedback rather than long lectures.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, what has worked before, and what feels realistic. Together they will try techniques, adjust plans, and pick the methods that fit the client's needs and preferences over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let people send messages between sessions or use written check-ins when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to keep progress moving forward.
