Dana Sloan, LPC

Dana Sloan is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are aimed at easing day-to-day worries and building stronger coping skills.

Dana brings five years of counseling experience to her work. She supports people dealing with mood challenges, grief, and addictions, and she often helps those coping with guilt, shame, or impulsive behaviors. She also works with concerns that arise during midlife and with aging and geriatric issues.

Her approach centers on increasing self-compassion and spotting the patterns that keep someone stuck. Dana helps people name what is happening, try different responses, and practice healthier habits. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Dana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She focuses on concrete strategies to manage anxiety and cravings, and on ways to process loss and rebuild confidence. The sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and strengthen everyday functioning.

People often come for help with social anxiety, postpartum depression, or co-occurring mood and substance concerns. Dana emphasizes realistic goals and small changes that add up over time. To start, she asks about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before.

Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online

Online work with this therapist draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target stress, anxiety, and related concerns. One focus is on skills training that teaches concrete coping tools for anxiety and strong emotions. These techniques help with managing day-to-day worry, reducing avoidance, and improving mood through practiced exercises and behavior changes.

Another emphasis is on strategies for addiction recovery and relapse prevention. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps, builds routines to reduce impulsivity, and teaches ways to respond differently when cravings or urges arise. It is useful for people balancing substance concerns alongside mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it matches real life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
