About Dana

Dana Miller is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With 13 years of professional experience, she draws on proven therapeutic methods to create practical, individualized plans that reflect each person's strengths and challenges. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a compassionate stance toward difficult experiences.

She uses a collaborative style that adapts conversations and treatment strategies to the needs of the individual. In sessions she blends cognitive and skills-based techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused elements to help clients build clearer thinking patterns, reduce distress, and strengthen day-to-day coping.

Dana frames change as a process and supports clients through courageous steps toward greater well-being. Her approach aims to be straightforward, respectful, and oriented toward measurable progress.

Practical approaches and flexible online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching concrete skills for problem solving and mood management; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and stage of change. Together they adjust techniques over time so that interventions remain practical and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more convenient and allow continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible. These formats support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and flexible access to a licensed professional while accommodating varied lifestyles and commitments.
