Work with Danielle Nielson (LCSW) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

I come from a rural town and didn’t want a therapist that I would probably run into at the grocery store. After getting matched with Danielle though…girl…no one else! She’s it! She’s so insightful and holds space for me and she gives me great advice. It feels like I’m talking to a close friend that just knows her shit.

Danielle is a lovely person and a very professional therapist. She has caring attitude and builds trustworthy relationship during her session. During the session time with her, you feel you’re in a safe space to process feelings and emotions, and that may give enough energy to either build up something new in your life, or, possibly get a fresh perspective on some familiar aspects of your routine. Danielle is supportive with her advises. I can’t say enough how much I grateful that I was matched with her.
Thank you so much, Danielle!

I have been with Danielle for a few months now, and she makes therapy very easy.

Written on Feb 11, 2022 after therapy with Danielle for 2 weeks

I’ve been working with Danielle for a few months now. I was unsure how I would do in therapy since I had never been and especially since it was online. But all I have to say is I am blessed to have her. She has helped me overcome something that ate away at me for 9 years. She is always making me laugh, and reminds me that I am doing great. I’ve made HUGE strides so far with her and I’m so beyond thankful for her. Thank you Danielle for talking to me like a person, I have no fear in sharing anything with you. You are blunt and honest but in such a good way, and even when I’m having weeks where I don’t write in, you still remind me that I am a rockstar. When we have sessions when I am not in a bad mood or just am unsure about things you assume me that no problem or concern I have is invalid. Thank you for always assuring me that my problems and concerns are valid no matter how big or small.

I've only had two sessions with Dr. Nelson. So far her suggestions on how to deal with the things I share with her have helped. She's also easy to talk to because she knows how to listen. I honestly wish our sessions were longer as I've been having such a positive experience, but I understand there are others who need her expertise. I've been booking weekly.

Danielle is so great!! I’ve been with her for almost 6 months, and the progress has been made in personal, professional and even self-image. She’s been great at holding myself accountable when I need to be, and also giving great perception of when it could be another persons problem. She’s helped me work on many task that have elevated myself and the way I communicate to others. However, she’s also helped me learn self-acceptance in the things I can’t and when to know you’ve done your best and that’s all you can ask. I love how in depth her message responses are, to our video sessions weekly. All in all, Danielle is great and if you’re looking for someone to help guide you, but let you fly in your own, she’s it. I’m incredibly grateful for her and the work we’ve done together.
