Dana Miller, LMFT

Dana Miller is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. Dana aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and goals. She listens for what matters most and helps people build small, doable skills for coping and change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her approach. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to support emotional regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-focused attention.

Dana mixes those approaches with solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals. Sessions often include practice between meetings so skills become easier to use in daily life. She explains tools plainly and adjusts the pace to what each person can handle.

People who contact Dana typically get a caring, steady clinician who emphasizes respect and sensitivity. She aims to help people regain confidence, improve communication, and find more balance when life feels hard.

CBT and skills work through online sessions

CBT focuses on changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying different actions to reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach works well for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches concrete skills for tolerating strong feelings and improving communication during tense moments. These skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit your goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be easier if you prefer no video or need lower data use. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skill coaching between appointments more accessible. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
