Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Danielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and clarify personal values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach she draws on when working with relationship or trauma-related concerns. This work explores how early attachment experiences shape current relationships and offers ways to build safer, more secure connections in adult life.
Danielle also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles that prioritize the client's perspective and foster a nonjudgmental, empathic therapeutic relationship. This approach supports self-exploration, increases self-awareness, and helps clients identify their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames therapy as a partnership where options are tried and adjusted together.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access registered professionals from different locations, while allowing the format and pace to fit each client's life.
