Online support options
CBT-informed care for online therapy
Danielle primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions and teaches hands-on skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and interrupt compulsive patterns. That work often includes homework-like practice to try new ways of responding between sessions.She pairs that approach with straightforward problem-solving around sleep, panic, and daily routines so people can see concrete change week to week. Treatment focuses on small experiments and communication skills that apply to sexuality, gender concerns, and nontraditional relationship structures where relevant.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Danielle discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and then adjusts methods to fit each person's needs. She aims to be collaborative and practical in deciding what to try first.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging lets someone check in between sessions or send brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy lives while keeping focus on consistent progress.
