About Dana
Dana Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She brings ten years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Dana focuses on practical work in sessions.
She helps people sort through relationship and intimacy-related issues, career and motivation questions, and the challenges of big life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, bipolar concerns, and ADHD-related struggles. Her approach centers on the person in front of her.
How Dana works
Sessions are collaborative and conversational, allowing clients to talk about feelings and try different strategies. Dana uses straightforward tools that people can test between sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are added when people need help with strong emotions and day-to-day coping. Dana has worked for a decade in clinical settings and community care. That experience informs how she balances emotional support with practical problem solving.
She aims to help people find clearer goals and steadier patterns in daily life. People who reach out can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk and a focus on skills that fit their life. Dana helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and keep moving toward the changes they want.

Online support options
Using practical approaches online for daily challenges
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship. It focuses on what matters to the person and creates space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines different techniques when that helps and changes course based on what is working in sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and flexible pacing between calls. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum and try new skills in everyday life.
