Dana Glasser

Dana Glasser

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Dana — a clinical social worker and certified life coach who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I completed both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Social Work with an emphasis on Psychiatric Social Work. Over the years, I’ve served as a Clinical Program Director in both board-and-cares and case management programs, supporting individuals as they process and heal from trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief and loss, and major life transitions. I supported them as they moved towards greater independence and peace.

Clients often describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. My approach is warm, flexible and collaborative . I believe therapy works best when we are aligned and make decisions together. I draw from a range of evidence-based methods, including DBT, EMDR, the Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing, and ADHD/Neurodivergent Coaching, to create a plan that fits each person’s unique needs.

At the heart of my work is a strength-based and solution-focused philosophy: I help clients uncover their resilience, develop practical coping skills, and move toward a life of clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a licensed therapist with experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges, including life stressors, work-related pressures, friendship dynamics, and finding joy in life. While I specialize in helping people navigate these areas, I believe that therapy is ultimately about understanding your unique experiences and working together to figure out what works best for you. Whether you're facing stress at work, struggling with personal relationships, or feeling disconnected from the joy in your life, my goal is to help you explore what's going on and how it's impacting you. We'll work together to identify strategies that make things feel more manageable, and most importantly, help you create a path toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you should on your own, you’re not alone. You can receive support for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or life challenges in a safe, trauma-informed space with a focus on helping you feel more in control, grounded, and confident in your daily life. Sessions are offered in both Persian and English, with a deep understanding of immigrant experiences, cultural identity, and individual differences. Care is thoughtful, culturally sensitive, and grounded in respect for who you are and where you come from. I'm a licensed psychologist, well- experienced in mental health related issues. I provide an empathic, collaborative, and evidence-based approach tailored to each client's needs and goals. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, insight-oriented strategies to help clients better understand themselves, improved emotional well-being, and create meaningful change. I work with adults from diverse cultural background and value creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. As a bilingual psychologist, enjoy supporting clients navigating cultural identity, immigration-related stress, life dynamics, and balancing multiple roles and expectations.

Therapist

I specialize in helping clients to truly get to know themselves and the thoughts in their head (whether conscious or subconscious) to break patterns, decrease people-pleasing, increase self-esteem, relieve stress and anxiety, address interpersonal issues, and increase their life satisfaction. Sometimes in life, we might feel stuck in a rut. My role is to help you work yourself out of that rut. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to modify your thoughts and in turn your behavior. I also use interpersonal therapy to increase effectiveness within your relationships. Solution focused therapy helps me, to help you, find the answers or resources that are already within you.

I have a License in Clinical Social Work and have a background working in both child welfare and community mental health. I've worked with countless families, parents, children, and adolescent. I see my client's as part of a system; recognizing that our environment influences our development in childhood and throughout adulthood. I believe that with insight and cognitive reframing, we can take control of our lives.
