About Dana

Dana Juarez is a licensed marriage and family therapist with nine years in mental health care. She earned a Master of Arts in Marriage & Family Therapy from Liberty University and holds an Oklahoma LMFT license (OK LMFT 1350). Dana brings a direct, practical style shaped by long service in the US Marines and years of clinical work in Southwest Oklahoma.

She focuses on relationship and family concerns as well as trauma, grief, and parenting struggles.

Background and approach

Dana also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, anger, intimacy issues, and self esteem. Her practice includes additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment, blended family and fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and family of origin problems. Her sessions emphasize clear goals and collaboration.

Dana listens, offers straightforward feedback, and helps clients try concrete steps between meetings. Techniques may come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, or trauma-based tools when needed. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is available as part of her trauma care when appropriate.

She pairs that with practical cognitive approaches to reduce troubling memories and improve daily functioning. The overall aim is to help people manage change and repair relationships in ways that feel do-able. Dana works in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Dana's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and choose their own goals while the therapist provides support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause stress or low mood.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life. It involves guided processing of those memories to reduce their emotional charge and help people move forward. Dana combines these methods when appropriate to address trauma, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will discuss options, consider your goals and comfort level, and recommend steps that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from home or while traveling within the permitted regions. The variety of options helps people stay connected to care in a way that fits their life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
