Dana Schneider-Kovach

Dana Schneider-Kovach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Dana also focuses on caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose questions, veteran-related matters, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexual assault recovery.

Dana uses direct conversation and practical tools in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered work, and mindfulness practices to help people notice what matters and try new actions. Sessions include talking through problems, practicing skills, and setting small experiments to test different ways of coping.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens and then offers skills, options, and clear steps people can try between meetings. This can include work on anxiety management, breaking cycles related to substance use, or rebuilding confidence after trauma.

Dana pays attention to motivation and readiness. For people unsure about direction or life purpose, she supports practical decision-making and values-based goals rather than promising a single answer. The focus is on what clients want to try next and on manageable changes.

How Dana’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. It focuses on noticing thoughts and experimenting with actions aligned with personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problematic patterns of thinking and behavior into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for changing them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dana will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting focus as progress and priorities change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let people use audio-only meetings if video is difficult. Many clients find that using ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools between sessions helps translate therapy into everyday life, regardless of how sessions are delivered.
