About Dana
Dana Dodson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Her work also includes grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She uses practical, talk-based work to help people untangle what is happening in their lives. Sessions focus on concrete steps - identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, learning ways to respond differently, and building small habits that reduce tension. Dana draws on client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to keep conversations focused and useful.
Mindfulness is part of her approach when it fits the person’s goals. She teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can help lower immediate reactivity. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to set doable goals and notice progress along the way.
Dana has worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and life stages. She is familiar with issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended families, and body image. That experience shapes how she plans practical steps in sessions.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach let people raise concerns and have the therapist mirror what they’re saying so priorities become clearer. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thought patterns, feelings, and behaviors. In online sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and track small changes between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will help figure out which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That process is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress or obstacles appear.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins around work hours, or sessions that don’t require travel. They also allow therapists to use worksheets, breathing practices, and homework that clients can practice between meetings to manage anger and stress.
