About Danielle
Danielle Johnston helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues with self-esteem. She works with concerns like addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes. Danielle is an LPC with 24 years of experience and brings a practical, encouraging approach to sessions.
She favors clear, doable steps over long talks that go nowhere. Danielle uses tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioral approaches, attachment-focused ideas, dialectical skills, and emotionally-focused methods.
How Danielle works
Sessions often include short exercises, skill practice, and real-life tasks to try between meetings. Danielle describes her style as warm, interactive, and coaching-oriented. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, calm their nervous system, and try small changes that build confidence.
Clients set goals and she helps break those goals into manageable steps they can practice. Her background includes extensive work with mood and anxiety concerns and with people facing co-occurring problems like substance use and relationship conflict. Danielle draws on a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs instead of using a single method for everyone.
Sessions aim to leave people feeling heard, encouraged, and with concrete tasks to use until the next meeting. Danielle emphasizes learning tools for emotional regulation, clearer communication, and healthier routines so progress continues between sessions.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building, which suits mood, worry, and sleep or eating issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches to meet changing needs. The aim is to identify a small set of skills or practices to try and then adjust those based on what helps.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and interactive exercises, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, chat can be useful for quick reflections, and text messaging supports ongoing encouragement and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and practice skills between sessions.
