About
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.

Dr. Alberto Figueroa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, CFT) and a Certified Family Therapist with more than 17 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. He specializes in treating anxiety, depression, chronic stress, couples issues, family conflict, and more.
He earned his Master's degree in Clinical Counseling and went on to earn a Doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Northcentral University. Additionally, he studied structural family therapy to understand people's interconnectedness. He uses a combined approach to counseling that maintains one theoretical perspective as its foundation (Adlerian psychodynamic therapy) and applies interventions from other theories to individualize treatment.
Dr. Al believes therapy helps individuals become aware of the obstacles that hinder their goals. Armed with awareness, persons can examine behavior patterns, discover alternative possibilities, implement change, and learn to accept their reality. However, therapy works best when clients and counselors work collaboratively to achieve the desired objectives.
Dr. Al has helped many persons overcome life challenges and learn to live fulfilling lives by developing a caring relationship and using multiple counseling interventions. He looks forward to developing therapeutic relationships that empower individuals to become their best selves and enhance the quality of their lives.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions while building practical skills to improve your daily life.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, and other everyday struggles that can impact overall well-being.
My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and tailored to your individual needs. Using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT-informed interventions, I help clients build coping skills and move toward lasting change. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I aim to build a relationship based on trust, authenticity, and hope.
During our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, history, and goals. Together, we'll begin creating a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and judgment-free, helping you feel comfortable, heard, and empowered from the start.

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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Some of the most mentally challenging and emotionally challenging events in our lives involve our partners. In fact, these events often stem from our relationships. For example, experiencing and healing from infidelity, working through financial strain or unemployment, stepping into new roles as parents, or even deciding to separate. During these challenges, a couples therapist or marriage counselor can assist. These professionals are relationship experts—they can equip you with tools and techniques for working through your relationship’s specific challenges. And they can even help guide and support you through divorce or separation.
If you and your partner or spouse are in a particularly challenging stage in your relationship, consider working with a couples therapist or marriage counselor at Thriveworks Pittsburgh, PA. Our relationship experts can provide you with the personalized guidance and support you are looking for. To schedule your couples therapy session, just give our office a call. We’ll be here when you need us.
