About Danae

Danae Koeper is a licensed clinical social worker who uses straightforward, practical therapy to support people facing difficult transitions. She draws on 20 years of experience and focuses on clear tools clients can use right away. She emphasizes strengths and practical steps more than labels.

If you are nervous about starting, she acknowledges that first step takes courage and honors that choice. Danae uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Background and approach

She helps people identify patterns that get in the way and try small changes to test what helps. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, and it includes grief and end-of-life related challenges. She also addresses life roles that can feel overwhelming, including parenting, family issues, relationship strain, and career stress.

Addictions, ADHD, anger, and compassion fatigue are among other areas she supports. She approaches those topics with practical strategies aimed at daily life and routines. Danae brings hospice and end-of-life counseling experience to conversations about loss and serious illness.

She also provides support when trust has been broken, such as infidelity. Her style is collaborative - she helps clients weigh options and pick manageable steps. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in Florida and internationally.

The goal is steady progress through clear skills, honest discussion, and realistic plans for change.

Online CBT and Practical Support for Families

The practice centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients see how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT teaches simple experiments and practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle daily stressors.

Danae also applies her experience with grief and hospice-related concerns in online sessions. That work focuses on making space for loss, planning next steps, and building routines that help with day-to-day functioning after major changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT or another strategy fits best based on their goals and preferences. Clients set priorities together and try approaches that match their needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule around work, parenting, or caregiving, and to continue support when travel or distance would otherwise interrupt care. Many people find this mix helps them use skills between sessions and move forward at a steady pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
