About Dana
Dana Piergiovanni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Dana aims to build a calm, accepting space where clients can talk about what matters to them. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support as people make changes in their lives.
With 12 years of experience, Dana has worked with a variety of concerns related to family life. Her background includes supporting people facing relationship strain, communication problems, and the challenges that come with divorce and separation. She has also worked extensively with the autism community and with caregiver stress.
Dana uses straightforward methods that help people set goals and notice what works. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that worsen mood and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, achievable steps toward change.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while honoring each person's pace. Dana encourages people to name one or two changes they want to try and then tests realistic steps together. Many clients find this mix helpful when coping with life changes, parenting strain, or recurring anxiety.
People looking to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and availability.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals for family or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps toward a preferred future. It is useful when someone wants quick, concrete changes such as improving communication or managing caregiver stress.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before to pick methods that fit each person. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
