About Dana
Dana DeHart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 21 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and related life challenges. Dana emphasizes each person's strengths and encourages small, steady steps toward change.
Her approach is straightforward and down to earth. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps people choose strategies that fit their daily lives and values.
Background and approach
Dana uses a mix of methods to meet different needs. She draws from client-centered work to keep the person’s goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when thoughts and habits are getting in the way.
EMDR can be part of healing for traumatic memories, and motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. People who come for help with anger or relationship strain can expect clear tools for managing reactions and repairing connections. For sleep or eating concerns, she helps clients build routines and coping steps that are realistic and repeatable.
Dana is practical about the pace of work. She supports people through grief, career shifts, parenting stress, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue with calm guidance. She checks messages early in the morning and again in the late afternoon to stay responsive.
Therapy with Dana centers on collaboration. She helps identify priorities, then tailors techniques so progress fits into real life.

Approaches that translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's goals and perspective at the center of sessions, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping people make choices that match their values. This approach supports working through stress, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete tools for changing unhelpful thinking and habits; it is useful for anxiety, anger management, sleep issues, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured method to process traumatic memories, which can reduce their emotional impact and improve daily functioning for people with trauma histories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so sessions remain practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online formats make scheduling more flexible. Video calls allow a more personal connection and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options let people fit therapy into busy routines and different locations.
