About Dana
Dana Juarez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma. She has nine years of clinical experience and a Master of Arts in Marriage & Family Therapy from Liberty University. Dana combines direct, practical work with a collaborative style that centers the client's goals.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can use between meetings. She listens closely, offers observations, and at times challenges thinking patterns that get in the way of progress.
Background and approach
Dana often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma work is needed. Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term goals and notice what works.
She helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, family conflict, parenting strain, grief, and stress. Other areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also supports those coping with chronic illness or pain, guilt and shame, and the fallout of trauma.
Dana draws on nearly a decade in mental health plus a long prior career in the US Marines. That background shapes a no-nonsense style that values clear goals and steady progress. She aims to help clients build skills they can use in everyday life and move toward the changes they want.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the client's priorities. It helps people feel heard and shapes the goals of therapy around what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, often used for trauma-related memories, involves structured processing to reduce the intensity of distressing recollections and supports people who have been through traumatic events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. That plan may combine client-centered listening, CBT skills, and trauma-focused methods as needed, and will be adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets therapists observe cues and hold a fuller conversation, while phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to schedule regular sessions and keep therapy consistent around daily life.
