01About Dana
Dana DeHart is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns like self-esteem, motivation, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward. She centers the person in the room and treats them as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build on strengths while tackling practical steps that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to fit what a person needs. That can include problem-focused strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, techniques to process traumatic memories, and motivational methods to increase readiness for change.
Each plan is adjusted to goals and life circumstances. People often come for help with parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, career stress, anger, bipolar management, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Therapy sessions involve clear goals, concrete exercises, and time to reflect on progress between meetings.
She checks messages early in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make starting therapy as simple and supportive as possible.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client's priorities. It focuses on building trust, identifying strengths, and shaping goals based on what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Treatment plans are adjusted over time, and the therapist involves the client in choosing exercises and homework that feel doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets a person use visual cues and have a longer session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
