About Dana
Dana Fritche is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She has four years of clinical experience in mental health and substance abuse counseling and draws on prior social work roles to guide her work. Dana approaches each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on during therapy.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression and offers support for addiction and bipolar disorder.
How Dana works
Clients may also seek help for self-esteem, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Dana addresses practical problems like communication, commitment concerns, and career-related stress in straightforward terms. In sessions she uses clear, goal-focused methods alongside empathic listening.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought patterns that contribute to distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and managing impulsivity. She also incorporates client-centered techniques to keep the person’s priorities central, and mindfulness practices to strengthen moment-to-moment awareness.
These approaches are combined to fit the needs brought into the room rather than following a rigid formula. People who connect with Dana usually want practical tools and a calm, collaborative style. She supports work on relationship challenges, body image and eating issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation.
Dana aims to make therapy a manageable step toward clearer choices and steadier coping.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and perspective, so sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and build on their strengths. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clearer priorities, or a space to make sense of their feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday worries where a person wants concrete tools to feel better.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. People dealing with impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship friction often find these skills useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed in ongoing sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days while still using the same therapeutic methods.
