About Dana
Dana Wile is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, life changes, and questions about identity and purpose. She works with teens, young adults, and adults and aims to help clients notice their strengths and build lives that fit their values.
Dana keeps a small caseload so she can give focused attention to each person. She offers morning and evening telehealth appointments while also working part-time in education.
How Dana works
This setup is meant to create consistency and thoughtful care rather than hurried sessions. Her practice centers on warm, affirming connection. Dana emphasizes respect for each client's identity and brings cultural awareness from her academic background in African American and Latino/a Studies.
That perspective informs how she talks about the impact of systems, culture, and daily pressures. Dana uses straightforward, collaborative conversation in session. She favors practical strategies and real talk to help people manage social anxiety, communication difficulties, caregiver stress, and questions about life direction.
Sessions often focus on identifying helpful actions and building skills to cope with hard moments. She blends evidence-informed approaches with curious listening. Clients can expect an honest, nonjudgmental atmosphere where goals are set together and progress is tracked in everyday terms.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on values and actionable steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own pace; it aims to create a supportive space where people can clarify what they want and make decisions that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dana will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy unfolds.
Telehealth appointments allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. The biography notes morning and evening telehealth slots, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, fit a session into a work break, or choose a shorter phone check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on skills, values-based action, and problem-solving in ways that fit everyday life.
