About Dana
Dana Sloan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She is a licensed professional counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas. Her approach is straightforward and caring so parents can read quickly and decide if she might be a fit.
Dana focuses on problems such as anxiety, mood struggles, grief, and addiction. She listens for the patterns that keep worry or low mood stuck, and then helps people try simpler ways of coping.
How Dana works
Sessions are practical and aimed at small, doable changes that add up. She pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and impulsivity and how those emotions affect daily life. Dana also works with concerns around self-esteem, social anxiety, and the strain of major transitions.
Her goal is to help people build more self-compassion and steadiness over time. Her experience includes five years in clinical practice in Texas as an LPC. That background informs how she tailors support to each person’s situation.
Dana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Therapy sessions focus on exploring current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing new responses. Many people leave feeling clearer about next steps and better able to manage tough moments.
If a parent wants a calm, practical therapist who talks in everyday language, Dana aims to provide that kind of support.

Online support options
Evidence-based care online and practical session options
Many of Dana's methods draw from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and understanding emotional patterns. One common approach involves learning coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce avoidance and worry. This helps when anxiety or phobia limits daily activities.Another approach centers on building self-compassion and addressing guilt and shame by changing self-talk and practicing kinder responses to setbacks. That approach supports people working through low self-esteem, grief, or the aftermath of addictive behaviors.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Dana works with each person to figure out what fits their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful. Clients are involved in setting goals and deciding which strategies to try.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
