About Dana

Dana Teeter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 10 years of experience. She offers practical support for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, mood disorders, grief, anger, and related concerns. Dana uses talk-based approaches alongside movement and breath work to help people manage strong feelings and repetitive negative thoughts.

She has a long background in school settings, working with children and teens as a counselor and social worker. That experience includes helping students with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and childhood trauma. Dana has written IEPs, 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and student goals, and has collaborated with school staff and families on implementation.

Alongside clinical work, Dana draws on personal experience raising two sons diagnosed with ADHD. She says that parenting those children informed her viewpoint and gave her practical insight into daily challenges and school advocacy. Her approach mixes talk therapy with skills practice that can be used at home and at school.

Dana uses cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. She also incorporates breath work, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, and other movement-based tools into sessions when helpful. The emphasis is on simple, repeatable skills for emotional regulation and coping.

She holds Yogafit certification and is a certified Revelation Wellness instructor, and she mentions martial arts practice as part of her personal wellness routine. Dana focuses on helping people recognize patterns, learn practical skills, and create realistic plans to manage anger and stress in day-to-day life.

How sessions work

How Dana’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspectives and goals. It means sessions prioritize what the person wants to address and the pace they’re comfortable with. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions with others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dana will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and what they prefer to practice between sessions. That collaborative decision helps make sessions feel useful and focused on real-life problems like snapping at a partner, work frustration, or building better anger management skills.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use movement or breathing exercises without extra travel time. Dana’s mix of CBT, DBT, and client-centered work is meant to translate into practical exercises people can try between appointments and bring back to discuss in the next session.
