About Dana
Dana Miller is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her manner is respectful and compassionate.
She focuses on practical steps people can use each week. She uses short, direct conversations to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Background and approach
Dana listens for what is working and adjusts tools and goals as needed. Common tools she brings into sessions include thought-challenging and behavioral planning to reduce anxiety and reactivity. She also teaches emotion regulation skills and mindfulness practices that can be used between sessions.
These approaches aim to help people feel steadier day to day. Dana has worked with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication challenges. She also supports people facing major life changes such as divorce, blended family adjustments, aging-related concerns, and medical stressors like cancer.
Her practice emphasizes clear goals and small, measurable steps. Progress is tracked and plans are adjusted when needed. The focus is on helping people build skills that fit into their real lives.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood problems because it gives step-by-step actions people can try between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These are useful when intense feelings or relationship reactions get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice the present moment and reduce automatic reactivity by practicing simple awareness exercises.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they select methods and adjust them as progress is seen.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options help people maintain continuity of care while using techniques like CBT and DBT in everyday life.
