About Dana
Dana McPherson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship concerns, career shifts, and major life changes. Dana aims to meet each person where they are and offers straightforward, compassionate care.
With four years of clinical experience, Dana draws on practical methods that focus on what helps most in day-to-day life. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and paced to the client’s comfort. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity while helping people untangle patterns that keep them stuck.
Dana uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to build skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen coping when emotions feel overwhelming.
She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, and end-of-life matters. Dana helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and blended family challenges so they can make clearer choices.
Dana practices in Oregon and holds an LCSW credential. Sessions are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process. To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist’s availability.
