About Me

What would it be like for you if you could wake up tomorrow and live the life you always wanted to live?

It can be hard to reach out and ask for help. Especially when life is stressful and overwhelming. So I want to do what I can to make this process of healing as user-friendly as possible. I do this with a counseling style that has been described as warm, blunt, and with a sense of humor. My clients and I often laugh together. I usually ask many simple questions, because I want to help people reach their own conclusions. I also tend to use a lot of analogies, because that often helps me understand concepts and ideas, so I figure that can also help my clients understand things as well. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I also feel that it is important that people know all of their options before they make decisions, so I try to be as honest and transparent as possible.

I believe that our past has a huge impact on how we act today. I specialize in working through how our past impacts us so that we can have a more successful future. To do this, I mainly draw from the therapy approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using this technique, my clients find the best path to healing and growth in their lives.

When I'm working with someone, my ultimate goal is to give them enough tools so that I am essentially working myself out of a job!

I'm shocked to hear that some therapists don't respond very often. So I try to respond to messages as often as I can, which means that I am typically responding 1 to 2 times a day. Even though I do respond often, I don't have the ability to always immediately respond, and there may be times when it takes me 48 hours to respond. This means that if you need consistent immediate assistance, a crisis call center or face to face counseling is more appropriate for you.

I have a decent availability during Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for live sessions.

I have done work ranging from psychiatric hospital work to in-person therapy work. I am now working in online therapy private practice, with my work at Wayne Counseling LLC. I like to spend my free time with my family, cooking, working out, or doing nerdy things like playing video games.

Are you ready to get started on a journey of happiness and healing?

Written by C.H. on Dec 01, 2019 after counseling with Danielle for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, and career difficulties

Danielle is wonderful. I've been working with her for close to six months now, and she always takes the time to listen to what my concerns are and helps to show me ways to work through my day to day anxieties. She responds quickly and will always divert off of what we are working on if something comes up within my day to day life.

Working with Danielle has been incredible. She has an uncanny ability to meet you where you are and help you move forward in your life. She gives you tangible things to work on and she can really help you identify the areas you may need to focus on through therapy. Needless to say, after working with Danielle I have a lot of tools I can use to help me live a more fulfilling and joyful life. I am eternally grateful for her guidance.

From the minute I was matched with Danielle, she responded to introduce herself. She has been phenomenal to work with. She has tried to tackle everything I’ve thrown at her! And she hasn’t even blinked an eye at anything I’ve thrown her way. Her sessions are not only helpful but really interesting. Her counseling style is super easy to understand and follow. I am so pleased with this experience.

Danielle is so personable and easy to relate to. The fact that she uses humor and personal experiences helps to make the conversation more natural and friend like, helping me to easily open up.

Danielle is absolutely fantastic. She is very knowledge, clear in her communication, incredibly patient, and effective. She has been amazing about helping me identify and approach things in a way that resonate with me. I also like that she helps me stay focused on the goals I want to achieve while helping me understand how to get there and providing the tools or exercises that help me get there.

My experience has been refreshing. I really just needed someone to listen to me and tell me if I’m being ridiculous in various situations, haha. I like to listen to different view points and to ultimately hear strategies/advice to help me in my relationships.

Danielle is an amazingly warm-hearted, intelligent woman. Empathetic and intuitive without putting on airs. I have complete confidence in her and am really grateful she entered my life.

Written by A.M. on Jul 17, 2019 after counseling with Danielle for 2 weeks on issues concerning addictions, and eating disorders

I really like how easy it has been to discuss topics with Danielle. She does a great job giving analogies if I don't quite understand something. We have used the online messaging and have had phone sessions, and I really like having the options that are available through BetterHelp. It has been a great experience and I would definitely recommend to my friends.

Written by A.S. on Jul 09, 2019 after counseling with Danielle for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, coaching, and adhd

I take time to reveal a lot of things to people. But Danielle has helped me ease into the process of sharing. Day by day, and little by little. I feel like just sharing and listening to the little advices has helped me think for myself regarding my current situation. Thanks Danielle. I hope to continue therapy with your help.

I've never participated in any type of counseling before. Danielle makes me feel comfortable, like I can share anything, does not pass judgment but gives sound advice. I truly appreciate her encouragement and help in figuring out my life.
