About Dana
Dana Sloan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Dana also lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns she addresses.
Dana works with adults facing mood shifts, substance use concerns, and the emotional fallout from big transitions. She uses straightforward conversations to identify patterns that keep problems going and to build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than sweeping fixes.
Her background emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing to distress. She helps clients recognize unhelpful thinking, practice different responses, and strengthen routines that support recovery. Work on grief, guilt, shame, and self-love often includes skill-building and paced emotional processing.
Dana has a particular interest in issues that arise with aging and midlife change, and she supports people dealing with co-morbidity and the ripple effects of addiction. She also addresses postpartum mood disruptions and periods of paranoia or heightened worry when they emerge alongside other concerns.
Practical recovery steps are central to her approach. Clients can expect focused sessions that aim to reduce avoidance, improve day-to-day functioning, and increase confidence in social situations. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling process to set up an initial session.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Dana's work. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce avoidance and worry. Behavioral techniques concentrate on gradual exposure to feared situations and building routines, useful for social anxiety and phobia. Brief skills training addresses coping with urges and cravings when addiction is part of the picture, teaching practical steps to manage impulses and cravings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative task. Dana will discuss what feels workable, try methods that match a person's goals, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most. The therapist and client agree on goals and review progress as sessions continue.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins around work, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that do not require video if that feels better. Talk with Dana during the matching process about which session arrangements suit your routine and comfort.
