Seeing clients 5+ in Monroe office. Get on the waitlist now with Dana by sending a message on the site or email admin@oliverleeconsultingpllc.org.

Hi, I’m Dana, a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) with nine years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Substance Use Counseling before completing my Master’s in Social Work.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of behavioral health settings. My past experience includes community outreach, substance use services for women and pregnant mothers, infant mental health, outpatient therapy, behavioral health assessments, care coordination, family-centered services, and working with adolescents, including at-risk youth. I’ve also facilitated evidence-based parenting groups and worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families to strengthen relationships, communication, and resilience.

Currently, I work full-time as a Crisis Clinician, providing community-based crisis intervention for individuals experiencing mental health emergencies while collaborating with first responders and other community partners.

While I value the important work of crisis intervention, I also deeply enjoy the opportunity to build meaningful, ongoing therapeutic relationships. I’m excited to join this practice part-time, where I can walk alongside clients beyond the immediate crisis and support lasting healing, personal growth, and meaningful change over time.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and individualized. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so I tailor therapy to each person’s unique experiences, goals, and strengths. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based interventions, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed techniques. I also strive to provide a neurodivergent-affirming, welcoming environment where clients feel safe, respected, and understood.

I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan and welcome the opportunity to work with couples and families. I have a special interest in helping children, adolescents, parents, and families strengthen communication, navigate life’s challenges, and build healthy, connected relationships. Whether you’re looking to improve communication, navigate parenting challenges, strengthen relationships, or work through life’s transitions together, therapy can provide a supportive space for growth, understanding, and lasting change.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change. I enjoy working with children ages 5 and up, adolescents, and adults, helping young clients develop emotional awareness, emotional regulation, healthy coping skills, confidence, and resilience while partnering with parents to support growth both in and outside of therapy.

Seeking support takes courage, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change.

Her clinical approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, managing emotional responses, and developing practical coping skills. For younger clients, she incorporates developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques to support emotional expression and behavioral growth in a way that feels natural and accessible.

She works from a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens, with a strong commitment to creating a safe, validating, and inclusive therapeutic environment. She recognizes that identity, physical health, and neurological differences can all impact mental health in unique ways—and she tailors treatment accordingly. Whether she and the client are working on managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, processing identity exploration, or building executive functioning skills, she collaborates closely with clients to set meaningful goals and track progress over time.
