About Dana Teeter
Dana Teeter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who brings a practical, whole-person approach to mental health and wellness.

In addition to professional experience, Dana has spent eight years parenting two sons diagnosed with ADHD, a perspective that informs both her clinical work and collaboration with families. She has written IEPs, 504 plans, behavior intervention plans, and educational goals, and has worked closely with school staff and families to implement those plans.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person as an individual and creating a collaborative relationship where the therapist listens, validates, and supports clients in setting their own goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking empathy, emotional support, and a space to explore personal values and identity.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with emotion regulation.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness techniques such as breathing exercises and gentle attention practices to reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation. It pairs well with movement and relaxation techniques to support overall well-being.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dana Teeter works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation constraints, and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver evidence-informed therapy and practical skills in accessible ways.
