About
As someone who has experienced significant adversity and obstacles in my own life, I understand what it means to keep showing up for yourself, and I bring that lived perspective into my work with compassion, empathy, and a genuine belief in each person’s ability to heal and grow.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I work with teens, adults, and couples who may be feeling stuck, questioning their self-worth, struggling to understand themselves or their relationships, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life. I also support clients who are working through relationship difficulties, seeking to repair and strengthen connections, or learning how to establish healthy and meaningful boundaries.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I help you identify patterns, strengthen self-worth, improve communication, and develop boundaries. You can expect a safe space where you're honest while working toward meaningful goals. I tailor my approach to your pace, helping you gain insight, build confidence, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when handling things alone. You don't need to have everything figured out. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin making sense of what you've been carrying. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, understood, and more connected to the person you want to become.

I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and I strive to create a supportive space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
I am Dana DeLemos and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other difficult life experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and strengths-based. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves and the patterns that may be holding them back while developing practical skills, building confidence, and creating meaningful change in their lives.
I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach, meeting you where you are while helping you identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness. I draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we'll find strategies that fit your needs, experiences, and goals.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. I strive to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment as we work toward the changes that matter to you. When you're ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take the next step.

The road is never easy, I am here to listen and empower you to overcome any obstacle.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with four years of experience. I completed my Master's degree in clinical mental health counseling at Kutztown University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based practices. I specialize in depression, anxiety, attachment disorders, psychosis, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and ADHD. I strive to establish a strong therapeutic relationship and create a safe, nonjudgmental environment that fosters trust and understanding. My goal is to empower clients with tools and strategies for meaningful change.
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. These evidence-based practices help clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I assist clients to build resilience, enhance problem-solving skills, and improve their overall well-being.
It takes considerable strength and resilience to acknowledge when we're struggling and need help. I'm committed to being present and providing guidance in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your challenges and work toward positive change. I invite you to schedule a session.

I have channeled my life experiences, joyful and traumatic, into a strong sense of empathy, which I use to help clients explore their pain and possibilities.
I am a Licensed Social Worker with 2 years of experience. Before becoming a social worker, I spent 2 decades providing counseling and crisis intervention in the nonprofit sector. My work has included supporting individuals, couples, and groups from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating faith-based trauma and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach to guide healing and growth.
I received my Master’s in Social Work from West Chester University. My approach emphasizes safety, trust, and empowerment. I help clients define what healing looks like for them and create achievable goals along the way. I am trained in narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
I believe therapy is both humbling and transformative. It takes courage to seek help and open yourself to the process. My goal is to offer a compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and grow. When you feel ready, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is the Gottman Method because the interventions are based on extensive research and have been shown to be highly effective. I also supplement with other research-based strategies and techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused therapy when relevant.
The Gottman Method is based on the Relationship House theory, which focuses on nine specific elements of a healthy relationship: getting to know one another's inner psychological worlds, building and expressing appreciation, noticing and responding when a partner is seeking attention and affection, cultivating a positive perspective, learning techniques for responding to conflict (such as communication and emotional regulation strategies), sharing and supporting life dreams and goals, and strengthening trust and commitment.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling because we collaborate together to create specific, measurable, meaningful goals and objectives and continually monitor progress on these objectives and goals together.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with the daily practice of relevant strategies introduced in counseling sessions.
To prepare for your first counseling session, you can reflect on how you show and receive love, communication patterns that you have noticed in yourselves and your respective families, strengths and qualities you appreciate in yourself and in your partner, and several specific things that are holding you back from being your best selves as a couple and as individuals.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
