Dana has been absolutely amazing with me and helping me with all the different areas I am trying to improve and work through. She gives me different resources to try. She actually listens to me and will explain things to me if I don't understand. She has given me different exercises as well to challenge myself and I have found it very helpful. I get a response from her within 24 hours of anything that I say to her. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

She’s been great. I was uncertain about therapy in the first place but she’s shown me how good it can be. Can’t speak for other therapist, but she’s amazing.
More about Dana
- 26 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
I'm an individual and couples' therapist licensed in Illinois with over 26 years experience in providing superior counseling services. My areas of expertise include relationship issues, couples' counseling, women's relationship with food and their bodies, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, major life transitions, living with chronic or terminal illness, stress management and exploring the mood/food connection.
Clients often tell me I'm very "different from other therapists" they've seen. I give feedback when appropriate and ask you to do the same. That will help me further tailor your treatment plan to specific issues of concern. My supportive, compassionate approach allows for a safe. nonjudgemental atmosphere where learning to manage and overcome problems becomes easier as I earn your trust through our work together.
Originally from Brooklyn, NY I ventured to the Midwest to attend Washington University in St. Louis where I earned my bachelors degree in psychology. I completed my graduate work in Chicago at Argosy University and five years later was fully licensed to practice independently in Illinois.
I've received intensive training in mindfulness therapeutic skills, obtained level one certification as a Gottman Methodology Counselor that I use when treating couples and certification as a supervisor for Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors. I am a member of the American Counseling Association, The National Association of Professional Women where I was honored for "Outstanding Excellence and Dedication to Her Profession and the Achievement of Women" an Honored VIP member in Covington's Who's Who which recognizes individuals who've demonstrated leadership and achievement in their profession, and received "Therapist of the Year" award (voted by clients),
I hope I've given you an idea of the person and professional I am and decide to begin working together. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
