About Dana
Dana Teeter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 10 years of experience. She works with adults and younger clients on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, mood disorders, trauma, grief, addictions, anger, and related struggles. Dana uses practical tools to help people manage strong emotions and daily pressures.
She blends talk therapy with behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Dana uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and client-centered methods to build emotion regulation and clearer communication.
Dana has extensive school-based experience supporting children and teens with ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and self-esteem issues. That work included writing IEPs, 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and coordinating with school staff and families to put plans into practice. She also spent eight years parenting two sons diagnosed with ADHD, which she says shaped her practical understanding of daily family challenges.
Her approach includes mindfulness exercises, breathing work, progressive muscle relaxation, and movement practices such as yoga. Dana is Yogafit certified and notes a background in Taekwondo and Revelation Wellness instruction as influences on her methods. She explains neuroplasticity in straightforward terms to help people see change is possible with consistent practice.
Sessions focus on learning concrete skills for managing anger, improving emotional regulation, and reducing reactive behaviors. Dana works with clients to set achievable goals and build practices they can use outside sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps build a working relationship where goals and priorities guide the sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thought that lead to reactive feelings and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises and homework to reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be practiced in short exercises between sessions to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match the client's goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice exercises in the moment and carry techniques into everyday situations without requiring a long commute.
