Dana Miller

Dana Miller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Georgia with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, and depression. Dana also focuses on issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication difficulties.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle what feels stuck. Sessions often include concrete skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas are used to anchor small changes that fit into daily life.

Dana keeps sessions practical. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, test small shifts, and track whether those changes help. Work tends to be hands-on rather than theoretical; expect clear steps and follow-up between meetings when useful.

Clients can bring specific problems like relationship conflict or caregiving strain, or broader concerns such as low motivation or a persistent sense of emptiness. Dana looks at how thoughts, actions, and daily routines interact, and helps set manageable goals for change.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in Georgia settings with adults facing a range of life stresses. Dana meets people where they are and focuses on practical tools to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

How Dana uses CBT, DBT, and solution-focused work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to shift feelings and results. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills to reduce intense reactions and improve communication. Solution-focused therapy centers on setting short-term goals and building on what already works, making it useful when people want clear next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dana will discuss what feels most relevant based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation helps choose whether to emphasize CBT thinking strategies, DBT skills, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused planning in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use therapy around work and caregiving duties. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, adapt techniques for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
