    About Dana

    Dana Schneider-Kovach is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with nine years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or problems with substance use. Dana emphasizes respect, dignity, and a compassionate tone in sessions. She invites people to take the first step and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

    Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses tools from Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build their own motivation. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action.

    In sessions Dana focuses on what matters most to each person. She listens closely and helps set small, manageable goals. She also supports work on trauma, self-esteem, guilt and shame, and issues that come with caregiving or life transitions.

    People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental style that centers the client’s goals. Dana aims to tailor the pace and techniques to each person’s needs. Her work includes attention to veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse when those areas are relevant.

    If you want direct feedback and practical steps, she offers that along with space to process difficult feelings. To begin, follow the site’s sign-up steps and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

  2. How Dana’s approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and move toward concrete steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. Together these approaches can help with addiction, anxiety, and making life changes.

    Dana will treat choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options in everyday terms, and try methods that fit your situation. If something isn’t working, she will adjust the plan with you rather than sticking to a single technique.

    Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow sessions without a camera when that feels better, or involve regular scheduled meetings to work steadily on goals. Discuss what will work best when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
