Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dana Teeter uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the person's own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach helps people explore values, build self-awareness, and shape treatment around what matters most to them.
She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges where changing thinking patterns can improve coping.
Mindfulness therapy is another element of her practice, offering simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. These techniques pair well with her use of breath work, progressive muscle relaxation, and movement-based strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dana collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access care around work, family, and school commitments. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue consistent, ongoing work with licensed professionals regardless of location.
