About Dana
Dana Juarez is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Oklahoma with nine years of experience. She works with relationship concerns, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anxiety, and other common struggles. Dana also notes additional focus on family of origin issues and communication problems.
She trained with a Master of Arts in Marriage & Family Therapy and brings a straightforward, goal-focused style. Her military background includes 20 years of service in the US Marines, and she describes a no-nonsense approach alongside attention to client goals. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical steps, and direct feedback when needed.
In practice she uses client-centered methods combined with cognitive-behavioral techniques. She may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and trauma-focused cognitive behavior work when appropriate. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of her toolkit for short-term problem solving.
Typical topics include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and coping with chronic illness or pain. She also works with first responder stress, anger, and disruptive mood concerns.
Dana encourages clients to set concrete goals and track small changes. Sessions aim to clarify patterns people carry from their family of origin and to develop practical strategies for healthier relationships and daily routines.
How Dana Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify goals and priorities. It’s useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort through family expectations or relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and repeated relationship behaviors that come from family of origin dynamics.
EMDR is an approach used for processing disturbing memories or trauma-related reactions. When a client and therapist agree it is appropriate, EMDR can be integrated into work on past events that still affect current relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific concerns you bring. Together they decide whether to focus on CBT exercises, solution-focused steps, EMDR, or a mix of methods.
