Dana Juarez, LMFT

Dana Juarez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma. She brings nine years in mental health and nearly 20 years of prior service in the US Marines to her clinical work. Dana aims to help people move past trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions with direct, practical support.

Dana uses a straightforward, goal-focused style. She listens, offers observation and feedback, and sometimes challenges clients to try new ways of coping. Sessions emphasize collaboration so the client’s goals guide the work together.

Her practice addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, anger, parenting and intimacy-related issues. She also works with attachment struggles, blended family stress, caregiver burden, chronic illness and pain, fatherhood issues, first responder concerns, and related problems that affect daily life.

Dana names several therapy methods she uses depending on need, including client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. These help with symptoms from past loss or trauma and with building better daily habits and communication.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can speak honestly and pursue practical steps toward their goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say. It helps people feel heard and decide their own next steps, which can reduce overwhelm and improve decision making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress through small, doable changes.

Dana sees choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with each client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those priorities. Together they check what helps and adjust as needed rather than locking into one plan.

For practical online care details, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing, session length, and focus areas so sessions can be tailored to your routine.
