About Dana
Dana Juarez is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Oklahoma with nine years of clinical experience. She trained at Liberty University and has a background that includes 20 years of service in the US Marines. Dana focuses on relationship and family concerns as well as trauma, grief, anger, anxiety, and stress.
She uses a direct, practical style in sessions. Dana centers the work on each person's goals and expects open, honest effort. She combines solution-focused strategies and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change patterns that cause ongoing conflict or distress.
Dana also includes trauma-focused work when needed. That can include EMDR, a method used to process distressing memories, or trauma-focused cognitive behavioral approaches to reduce the impact of past events. Her military background informs a straightforward clinical manner that some people prefer.
In sessions she offers clear feedback, occasional challenge, and guidance toward small, manageable steps. People often work on communication problems, parenting stress, blended family issues, or handling anger and resentment that shows up at home or work.
She helps people facing life transitions, chronic illness or caregiver strain, and identity issues such as abandonment or attachment wounds. Treatment plans typically aim at practical changes in behavior, coping skills for intense emotions, and rebuilding trust in relationships.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Dana blends approaches for online work
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely to what matters most to the client and shapes sessions around those goals. This approach helps with relationship concerns and stress by keeping practical priorities in focus.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses, which can reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive patterns.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories so they have less emotional charge. It is often used when past events continue to cause intense reactions in daily life.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest steps to try. That plan can change as you test what helps most, and Dana will adjust techniques based on your response.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working on communication, anger management, trauma processing, and stress reduction.
