About Dana
Dana Schneider-Kovach is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges linked to addiction and past trauma. Dana emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work.
Dana helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem, guilt, shame, or questions about life purpose. She also supports those coping with caregiver strain, post-traumatic stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and sexual assault and abuse.
How Dana works
Her practice includes attention to drug and alcohol addiction and control issues. In sessions she draws on practical therapies that teach new skills and habits. That can mean learning ways to notice thoughts without getting caught up in them, trying concrete behavior changes, or practicing present-moment awareness.
She adapts methods to the individual's needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Dana aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental environment where people can talk through painful experiences and test small changes. She works with each person to set realistic goals and build skills for handling strong emotions and cravings.
Progress is discussed in straightforward terms so clients know what to expect. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Dana acknowledges that courage. She partners with clients to find approaches that fit their life and priorities, and she reviews options so people feel involved in planning their care.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when stress, anxiety, or low motivation get in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behaviors by teaching concrete skills to shift reactions and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Dana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can fit during a break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular work while balancing family, work, and other commitments.
