Dana Andrews

Dana Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on practical, compassionate therapy. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Dana also supports career questions, self-esteem and motivation struggles, and people coping with major life changes.

She uses a client-centered approach to make sessions feel conversational and nonjudgmental. That means the person comes first, and goals are shaped around what matters to them. Dana also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns that get in the way, and on mindfulness techniques to build calm and focus.

Her style is direct but warm, aiming to create space for honest talk and gradual change. In session she listens, asks helpful questions, and offers tools people can try between meetings. She pays attention to cultural and financial stresses that can affect daily life.

Over a decade of practice has included working with people facing trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and immigration-related challenges. Dana also provides coaching-style support for those exploring life purpose or money and career questions. People who come to her often want practical steps and clearer direction.

Sessions are guided by each person’s goals and pace. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on therapist availability. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Dana’s Approaches Work Online and in Sessions

Client-centered therapy puts the person's priorities first and shapes sessions around what they want to change. It often looks like open conversation, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting to make therapy feel personally relevant.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problems like motivation or work-related worry.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. People who struggle with emotional ups and downs or relationship friction may find the skills helpful.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dana will discuss goals, preferences, and needs together and adjust methods over time. That collaboration helps find tools that fit each person’s life and pace.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to practice skills between sessions in their everyday settings while working with a licensed professional to track progress.
