About Danielle

Danielle Anderson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She brings 17 years of experience and focuses on practical skills that can be used right away. Danielle speaks English and practices in California as a CA LMFT 46589.

She aims to make sessions direct and understandable. She helps people name what feels off, try small changes, and notice what works.

Background and approach

Danielle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a hands-on approach that links thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try different behaviors and see results. Her background includes work with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, attention differences like ADHD, and stress-related issues including sleep problems and anger.

Danielle also addresses identity and relational topics such as LGBT matters, gender dysphoria, and communication problems. Additional areas she supports include family problems, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and non-traditional sexual cultures like BDSM and kink. She also helps with obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, phobias, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Danielle’s style is collaborative and practical. She will work with each person to set goals and try tools that fit daily life. For people juggling work, family, or complex identities, her approach aims to make therapy useful and manageable.

CBT and practical online support for everyday challenges

Danielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts so clients can try small changes and track what helps; it is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and obsessive habits.

The right approach is found together. Danielle works collaboratively to match techniques to each person’s goals, needs, and daily life. She discusses options and adjusts methods as progress and preferences become clear.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, follow up between meetings, and use tools when they are needed. The variety of session types supports people who need flexibility because of work, parenting, or travel.

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.
