About Dana
Dana Schneider-Kovach is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also supports those healing from trauma and working to rebuild self-esteem and motivation.
Dana keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then helps people name what matters and what gets in the way. Conversations center on practical steps, skills, and small changes that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses caregiver strain, control issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people coping with veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault or abuse. When needed, she helps people map recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Therapy blends talking with hands-on skill practice. Dana draws from narrative ideas to help people rewrite problem stories, and from acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and action. Cognitive and dialectical tools are used when thinking patterns or emotional regulation get in the way.
Sessions are intended to be respectful and sensitive. Dana aims to meet each person where they are and shape work around their goals. Taking the first step to reach out is a positive move, and she helps people figure out the next practical steps.

Online session options
How specific approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises, values work, and behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite those narratives. In remote sessions this can look like guided storytelling, noticing patterns, and developing alternative storylines that fit a person's goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which methods and exercises feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online formats provide flexibility and different ways to engage. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, try short exercises, and keep therapy active between calls. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
