About
Dana Rivera, LCSW, brings nine years of clinical practice shaped by both professional training and a personal history with fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and postpartum shifts. Her own experience informed a change in clinical focus that now includes an expanded commitment to people navigating reproductive journeys and the identity changes that can follow those events.
She holds space for women, birthing people, and LGBTQ+ families facing fertility issues, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, postpartum depression, caregiving stress, and the work of rediscovering purpose and selfhood. Her practice also addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions may move between moments of clarity and times that feel heavy or unfinished. Dana approaches each appointment as a collaborative process where growth unfolds at its own pace. Whether processing loss, exploring life purpose, or managing day-to-day overwhelm, she walks alongside clients with care and compassion while attending to the particular challenges named in their lives.

Online support for reproductive challenges and life transitions
Dana conducts remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet people where they are. Her online work centers on the needs documented in her practice: fertility concerns and pregnancy loss, postpartum shifts, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue, and broader issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, and career transitions. These options allow for conversational check-ins, longer processing sessions, or ongoing text-based check-ins depending on the communication channel selected.
She integrates coaching with supportive therapeutic work to address practical goals and emotional processing. Coaching is used to clarify priorities, set manageable steps toward change, and support decision-making. Supportive work helps process grief, identity shifts, and complex feelings that arise from loss or life change. For stress and anxiety, she focuses on coping strategies and pacing to reduce overwhelm.
People who prefer a collaborative approach that honors both insight and tenderness may find this format fitting. Remote sessions can be scheduled by selecting the communication mode that best suits the current need, whether a live conversation or ongoing text-based messaging.
