How Dannette works
Her approach balances direct strategies and respectful listening. She works with individuals and couples to clarify goals and plan small, achievable changes. That can mean learning tools to sleep better, practicing new communication habits, or addressing painful memories at a pace that feels right.
Dannette also pays attention to life context. She helps people facing adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, money problems, multicultural concerns, and matters tied to military service. Practical problem-solving is combined with attention to emotional meaning.
People can expect a collaborative style that honors their values and timing. The work is aimed at building awareness, strengthening coping skills, and making steady progress toward goals. Dannette offers a grounded, compassionate space for people ready to make changes.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Dannette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and paced processing. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps people who have experienced trauma by identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts that keep painful memories active. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and commit to actions that match their values while learning to live with difficult emotions.Choosing the right approach happens together. She will discuss options, explain how a method works, and tailor the plan to goals and comfort level. Clients collaborate on pacing, targets, and practical steps so the work fits their needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and ongoing text messaging supports day-to-day processing and reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or travel.
