About Dana

Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on ten years of clinical experience, particularly with children and adolescents in school settings, and combines talk therapy with practical mind-body strategies to address negative thinking, intrusive thoughts, and emotional regulation.

Dana uses tools like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, breath work, and movement-based exercises as part of a collaborative plan to improve coping skills and everyday functioning. Her background includes hands-on work with students confronting anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and childhood trauma, plus experience developing IEPs, 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and educational goals.

Dana’s perspective is informed by both her clinical roles and her lived experience parenting children with ADHD, which she says shaped her approach to coordinating with families and school professionals.

She also incorporates holistic practices she values personally, such as yoga and breathing techniques, and draws on her training as a Revelation Wellness instructor and other movement disciplines to support mind-body wellness. Overall, Dana focuses on educating and empowering clients to understand their own mental health, set realistic goals, and build practical skills for long-term change.

She welcomes collaboration and aims to create a respectful, growth-focused environment for people ready to work on emotional regulation, self-esteem, coping, and broader wellness goals.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support

Many clients find value in approaches that combine internal exploration with practical skill building. Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites individuals to notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves - inner protectors, exiles, and managers - to help reduce internal conflict and foster self-leadership, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and mood challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering structured tools for anxiety, depression, and worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients discover their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then tailor a plan that draws from these methods. Sessions may shift over time as needs evolve, with attention to what feels most effective for the individual.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access care from home or the workplace and to maintain continuity during busy schedules. These options allow for flexible scheduling and multiple ways to engage in therapeutic work, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or more frequent, shorter check-ins through messaging.
