Dana Brennan, LCSW

Dana Brennan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings eight years of experience to her practice in Delaware. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, are facing life transitions, or need extra support. Dana meets people where they are and aims to create a nonjudgmental space to talk through pressing concerns.

Dana tailors her work to each person's goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She helps people address relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress, and addiction-related concerns.

She also supports those coping with grief, parenting challenges, body image and self-esteem issues, and caregiver strain. Dana pays attention to how everyday patterns affect mood, connection, and decision making. Expect straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what might help next.

Dana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to individual needs. She works with clients on communication, building self-love, managing anger, and navigating career or midlife transitions. For people facing hospice or end-of-life concerns, she offers supportive counseling around meaning and forgiveness.

If you want to start, be prepared to share what brought you here and what you hope to change. Dana aims to help clients find clearer ways forward and to build practical skills for handling difficult moments.

Approaches that guide online work

Evidence-based techniques are used and adapted to each person's needs. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, teaching tools people can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and abuse in small, steady steps that prioritize safety and pacing while helping clients regain a sense of control over difficult memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time based on how a person responds and what feels most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing for sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed or conversations that do not require being on camera. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and the kinds of sessions that best match your routine and needs.
