About Dana
Dana Schneider-Kovach is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Dana also attends to caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose concerns, veteran-related issues, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexual assault recovery.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical skills rather than jargon. Sessions often involve identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and testing small changes between meetings. Dana blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build more flexible responses.
Motivational interviewing is part of how she approaches substance use and change-related goals. That method helps people clarify why change matters and find workable first steps. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are also used when strong emotions and relationship stress make daily life harder.
Clients can expect a collaborative working style where problems are broken into manageable pieces. Dana lets people set the pace and focuses on skills they can use right away. Conversations also attend to values and purpose so choices align with what matters most.
Her practice emphasizes steady skill building for real-world challenges. If someone is feeling stuck after a job change, health event, or relationship shift, she helps them sort priorities and try practical steps toward clearer direction.
How Dana's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values. Online sessions can use ACT to help someone who feels stuck decide what matters and plan small steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include trialing techniques and adjusting them based on what actually helps in everyday routines.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people sustain regular work on stress, substance use goals, or purpose-related decisions without disrupting daily responsibilities.
