As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring nearly three decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on empowering clients to cultivate self-love, navigate personal transitions, and develop resilient coping strategies.
I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem concerns. My approach honors each person's unique journey, with a particular focus on supporting young adults, women, veterans, and individuals experiencing workplace or family challenges.
Drawing from a Christian-informed perspective, I create a warm, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and rediscover their inner strength. My work emphasizes understanding life purpose, practicing forgiveness, and building emotional wellness through collaborative, personalized support.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Danita has helped me through so much grief and just mind wandering. Our first session I felt so strongly about her and our connection. I've had a different therapist in the past and never felt as comfortable with them as her. Very thankful for Danita.
