About Dana
Dana Hall is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and addiction. She also supports concerns like grief, intimacy, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and career or life-purpose struggles. Dana brings 20 years of experience in education and mental health to her work.
Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a clear space where people can tell their story and begin to feel better.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills and understanding the emotions behind behaviors. Dana draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered principles. She uses techniques such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance to help people manage intense feelings.
Before independent practice she worked at major therapeutic treatment facilities, served as a crisis management specialist, educator, consultant, and senior supervising therapist. That background shapes a steady, experienced presence in sessions. She also has training as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
People who come to Dana often want to reduce overwhelm, repair connection, or find clearer direction. She treats each person as an individual and works collaboratively to set goals and build coping skills that fit daily life.

Online support
How Dana blends emotion-focused work with online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns in emotions and attachment. It focuses on what people feel in the moment and how those feelings shape their choices and relationships. This can help with anxiety, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for stress, depression, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using empathy and listening to help people find their own solutions and build self-trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will discuss what feels most helpful and will adapt methods based on each person’s needs and goals. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client can handle.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice emotional work in real time. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style support. These options help people access consistent care without long commutes.
