Background and approach
She helps clients set short tasks between sessions so progress feels concrete and steady. Danielle draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside Attachment-Based approaches and cognitive-behavioral techniques.

She also uses strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Her work often centers on practical problems like sleep and eating concerns, career stress, communication trouble, and coping with separation or blended family strain. She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, focusing on everyday tools to improve functioning.

Online session options
Approach and care options for online therapy
Danielle uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can change how they act and relate to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections influence current behavior and closeness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests a blend of methods that fit the problem at hand. She checks in over time and adjusts techniques so sessions remain helpful and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typed communication. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or busy schedules and keep consistent progress.
