More about Danielle

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPCC

As a licensed therapist in Minnesota, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on compassionate, evidence-based care for adults experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I have extensive experience helping clients address interpersonal dynamics, workplace stress, relationship patterns, and personal growth.

My therapeutic practice focuses on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful change. I work collaboratively with clients across diverse backgrounds, offering specialized support for young adults, women, veterans, and those managing chronic health conditions.

Drawing from comprehensive clinical training, I utilize trauma-informed techniques to help clients build emotional strength, improve communication skills, and develop healthier coping strategies. My goal is to empower individuals to understand themselves more deeply and create positive, sustainable life changes.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dani is very real with you. It feels very personal and like you’re talking to someone you’ve known forever with the added bonus of her being a trained professional.

She doesn’t let you bullpoop yourself. She will help you to realize a lot of things you should’ve seen sooner... I love the way that she makes it ok to make myself a priority over anything else. Because if I’m not ok, how can I expect others to be ok? How can I take care of other people if I’m not ok myself?... She’s very good!

Danielle has been great!! She points out things that I don’t even see. I do not feel judged at all by her and she puts things into perspective. If I don’t contact her after a period of time, she always sends out a “hey, you doing ok?” message. I also love the fact that I can just message her whenever I want. It’s been a great move on my end using Better Help.

I've recently begun working with Danielle. Though we're still getting to know each other, in the few sessions we've had I've found her to be incredibly thoughtful, empathetic and solutions focused while also being mindful of what I've shared about how I prefer to address issues and what works for me and what doesn't. I have very strong hopes that the tools she's showing me and working through with me will help me tremendously!
