Therapeutic approaches and online sessions



Dana integrates client-centered therapy, attachment-based approaches, and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the person to find their own solutions - it is useful for building self-understanding and self-worth. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can help with relationship concerns, abandonment issues, and trauma-related difficulties. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dana works collaboratively with each person and with registered professionals as needed to identify which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Dana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to access consistent support from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for the individual.
