Dana Andrews

Dana Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings ten years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Dana aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly and feel heard.

She uses client-centered methods to build trust and guide conversations at each person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when practical steps and skills help reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques are used to teach emotion regulation and present-moment coping skills.

Dana also incorporates motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure where to begin. She helps with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and life transitions, including coping with life changes. Her work includes addressing trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues around identity and multicultural stressors.

Sessions focus on clear goals and useful tools that can be practiced between meetings. Dana pays attention to communication and family dynamics, financial stress, and questions of life purpose. She talks through practical steps for building self-love and confidence.

People who choose her often want a conversational, goal-oriented experience. She encourages realistic small changes that add up over time. To start, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How Dana’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and moving at their pace. In practice this means conversations that prioritize what the client wants to address and support to name goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Mindfulness elements used alongside DBT help people notice feelings without getting overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
