About Dana
Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, and parenting challenges. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a straightforward style that focuses on practical skills and small steps forward. Dana aims to make mental health support understandable and usable for everyday life.
Dana blends talk therapy with hands-on mind-body practices. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing alongside mindfulness, breath work, and movement. Sessions often include tools for handling negative thoughts, intrusive thinking, and strong emotions.
Her background includes more than a decade working with children and teens in school settings as a counselor and social worker. That work involved supporting students with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and childhood trauma. She has experience writing and implementing IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention plans while coordinating with school staff and caregivers.
Dana also brings lived experience as a parent of two children with ADHD. That perspective informs her approach to planning, behavior strategies, and realistic goal-setting. She teaches clients skills for emotional regulation, self-worth, and interpersonal confidence.
Outside the therapy room she uses yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises in her own life and with clients. She is Yogafit certified and holds a black belt in Taekwondo, and she is a certified Revelation Wellness instructor. Dana emphasizes education, self-awareness, and collaboration in forming a plan for change.

How Dana uses therapy methods online and in sessions
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and building momentum for small, achievable steps. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room by valuing their perspective and pacing the work according to what feels most helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific techniques to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. The therapist and client check progress and pick methods that fit the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills at home and bring real-life situations into sessions for immediate problem-solving. -
