About Dana

Dana DeHart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related challenges. Dana approaches work with practical care and plain language so parents and busy people can follow along.

She centers sessions on each person’s strengths. Dana treats clients as experts on their own lives and helps them build on what already works. That often means setting small, doable goals and tracking progress between visits.

Background and approach

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and EMDR when appropriate. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help with motivation, coping, and decision points. These methods are used to address concerns like self-esteem, grief, relationships, and addiction-related struggles.

Sessions are geared toward real-life problems such as sleep trouble, eating issues, parenting stress, anger, or workplace strain. Dana helps people practice new skills during and between sessions so changes can stick. Conversations are straightforward and aim to leave clients with clear next steps.

She maintains predictable communication times, checking messages early in the morning and again in the late afternoon. That rhythm helps people know when to expect a reply and supports steady progress in therapy.

Online support

Online approaches that match your needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on your strengths. The therapist follows your lead, asks questions, and helps you decide which changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce distress linked to those memories.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, past experiences, and comfort level and then suggest one or more ways to proceed. You and the therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat let people check in between meetings or have quick, focused exchanges. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make ongoing care more accessible.
