Dana Teeter

Dana Teeter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, school or parenting challenges, and struggles with body image or self-worth. Her tone is practical and direct, aimed at people who want clearer coping tools and steadier daily functioning.

She mixes talk therapy with mind-body practices like breath work, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are part of her usual approach. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thinking, building emotional regulation skills, and developing concrete steps to manage symptoms day to day.

Dana has more than 10 years of experience, including work as a school counselor and social worker with children and teens. That school-based background includes writing IEPs, 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and coordinating with educators and families to put plans into action. She also draws on eight years of parenting experience supporting children with ADHD to inform practical strategies.

Her practice blends clinical methods with holistic practices. She is Yogafit certified, a Revelation Wellness® instructor, and uses movement and breath as tools alongside therapy. Dana emphasizes education about how the brain can change with practice and small, sustained efforts.

Clients who want straightforward tools, movement-based coping skills, and collaborative planning may find her style fits well. She aims to help people learn self-regulation, rebuild confidence, and set achievable goals for better everyday functioning.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, where the therapist follows the client's priorities and supports their own insights and choices. This approach helps when someone needs a trusted partner to sort out problems and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. CBT works well for anxiety, mood shifts, panic, and many daily-life struggles by giving clear tools to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It can be useful when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors interfere with everyday life.

Dana treats the choice of approach as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about goals, past experiences, and what feels manageable, then try approaches that fit those needs. Adjustments are common as work progresses to find what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow clients to practice skills in their real routines. Because the therapist's session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm available options before booking. Many people find that brief check-ins, guided breathing or movement exercises, and worksheet-based CBT work well in remote sessions when scheduled thoughtfully.
