About Dana
Dana Juarez is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Oklahoma with nine years of clinical experience. She graduated with a Master of Arts in Marriage & Family Therapy from Liberty University and previously served in the US Marines for 20 years. Dana focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is direct and goal-minded. She centers the client's goals when planning sessions and combines practical methods to address specific problems. Sessions often include elements of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods when needed.
Dana draws on a straightforward style shaped by military service and clinical practice. She listens, offers clear observations, and will sometimes challenge clients to move toward their stated goals. The intent is to produce useful change rather than stay at abstract discussion.
She works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, fatherhood issues, first responder concerns, and emotions like guilt, shame, and emptiness. She also addresses family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
Sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and may include trauma-focused work such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience, and online sessions let that conversation continue without changing the core method. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, reflective space to talk through relationship or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new behaviors. Online sessions can include homework, worksheets, and brief skill practice between meetings to keep progress steady for stress, anxiety or mood concerns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories; when appropriate, elements of EMDR may be introduced in a paced way during therapy to address trauma and abuse symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist can adjust the plan as needed based on what works in practice.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a school or work day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time so sessions are simpler to attend. Ask about specific session lengths and any remote formats when scheduling to match therapy to everyday routines.
