Remote counseling focused on values and practical steps
Dana Andersen offers online sessions that use a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered principles to address current concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through specific, collaborative work.
She also brings trauma-focused approaches when past events are a central part of the presenting concern, combining careful attention to emotional safety with stepwise processing suited to each person. The therapist aims to collaborate with clients on realistic goals, selecting strategies together and adapting the pace and focus as needed.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and communication style.
