Dana Andrews, LCSW

Dana Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on approachable, practical support. She uses a calm, nonjudgmental style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Dana emphasizes clear conversation and steady encouragement as clients take steps toward change.

She has ten years of professional experience and holds LCSW credentials in New York. In sessions she helps people name problems and pick small, doable steps to feel better. She talks through coping strategies and ways to improve communication when relationships feel strained.

Dana draws from several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot thought patterns that keep people stuck and to practice different ways of thinking and acting.

She also incorporates parts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to build emotion regulation and present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. These approaches are woven into sessions depending on each person’s goals.

Dana often works with people managing life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, career concerns, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. She also addresses communication problems, multicultural concerns, money and immigration issues, and supports those exploring life purpose or self-love.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Dana helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track small wins along the way.

How Dana’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions can keep that same tone by giving space for people to talk through feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That work often includes short between-session tasks and clear steps that adapt well to remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then choose which methods to use. The process is collaborative so clients can try different techniques and keep what helps most.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current online options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life transitions while focusing on skills like emotion regulation, communication, and planning next steps.
