About Dana

Dana Miller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Dana also helps people facing codependency, abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and other related concerns.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation. She uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm strong emotions and increase focus in the moment.

Dana adapts treatment to what each person needs. She helps clients set modest goals, practice new skills, and check what is or isn’t working. Sessions tend to be action-oriented, with time for reflection and skill practice between visits.

She brings experience from community and clinical settings across her career. Dana draws on evidence-informed approaches while keeping the work concrete and readable. People who repeatedly put others first, struggle to say no, or feel overwhelmed by another person's moods often come for help with boundaries and clearer communication.

Her approach is practical and paced to the person’s readiness. She asks questions, introduces exercises, and reviews progress together so adjustments can be made as needed.

How sessions work

How Dana Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with small experiments, and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

DBT teaches skills for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. That looks like learning short grounding techniques, emotion regulation tools, and specific communication strategies to reduce reactivity in relationships.

Finding the best fit is part of the work. Dana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and personal preferences. The plan can change as progress is reviewed together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins during a work break, or let them use quieter surroundings rather than commuting. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and how subscription billing applies so you can plan accordingly.
