01About Dana
Dana Spigener is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with addictions, persistent low mood, panic attacks, anger, and relationship challenges. He aims to make the first step easier for people who feel uncertain about starting therapy.
Dana keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He works to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about painful feelings and confusing patterns.
Background and approach
Conversations move at a practical pace so people leave with clear next steps rather than more questions. He commonly helps people rebuild self-esteem and confidence after setbacks. That can mean learning new ways to manage intense emotions, choosing different responses in close relationships, or finding structure for day-to-day life when addiction or anxiety gets in the way.
Progress is often made through small, concrete changes practiced between sessions. Dana also supports people facing caregiver stress, isolation, and questions about life purpose. He listens for how past attachments show up now and helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck.
From there he suggests strategies to change those patterns in manageable steps. Originally licensed in Florida, Dana now offers services to people in Oregon and to international clients in English. He uses a mix of conversation, practical tools, and focused goals to help clients move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

How his approaches work online
Dana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach emphasizes identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practicing new responses; this helps with panic, anxiety, and mood difficulties by giving concrete skills to use when feelings rise. Another frequent focus is on coping strategies for addiction and stress, which includes planning practical steps, building routines, and reducing triggers that make problems worse.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dana works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods, check what works, and adjust the plan so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit work on addiction, anxiety, or relationship concerns into a busy life.
