About Dana

Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana who helps people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and stress. She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies so people can manage strong emotions and day-to-day challenges. Dana aims to make sessions feel calm and down-to-earth for worried parents and adults seeking clearer coping tools.

With ten years in the field, much of Dana's experience comes from school settings supporting children and teens.

Background and approach

She has worked with students who struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and identity or self-esteem concerns. That background shaped her interest in helping people build emotional regulation and interpersonal skills. Dana blends several approaches in sessions.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, Client-Centered methods to follow each person's goals, and Narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories. Mindfulness practices, breathing exercises, and light movement work are often part of her plans when useful.

Her life experience as a parent of two children diagnosed with ADHD has influenced how she looks at planning and daily routines. She has written IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention goals, and has experience working alongside school staff to put plans into practice. Dana emphasizes education and skill-building.

She helps people learn self-regulation tools like progressive muscle relaxation and breath work, and encourages practical steps clients can use between sessions. Her approach aims to empower people to recognize patterns and try manageable changes that improve day-to-day functioning.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Dana directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Approach and online care that flexes to fit your needs

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals. The therapist creates a space where the person sets the pace and priorities, which helps when someone needs direction or emotional support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, or mood swings. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and invites new, more helpful ways to understand those stories and their choices.

Finding the right approach often takes time, and this therapist treats it as a team process. Together the therapist and client will experiment with techniques, decide what helps most, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. The goal is to find methods that fit the client's life and goals rather than forcing one style on every problem.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit a quick check-in or shorter coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, work around childcare, and keep regular momentum between appointments.
