About Danielle

Danielle Diggs is a licensed mental health professional who uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. Danielle works from Maryland and communicates in English.

Danielle focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She listens first, then helps set small, doable goals. Sessions often include talking through unhelpful thoughts, trying different responses, and building routines that reduce day-to-day stress.

Background and approach

Her background includes eight years of professional experience supporting people through grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and identity-related concerns. She aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful, adapting the approach to each person’s situation and pace. Danielle combines client-centered care with CBT techniques.

That means she centers the person’s goals while teaching tools to change thinking and behavior patterns that cause distress. The work is collaborative and focused on skills that can be used between sessions. Practical matters are discussed clearly.

Sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Subscriptions are used for scheduling and can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are then scheduled based on availability.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy, reflects what is said, and follows the client's pace; this approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort out feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include mixing client-centered listening with CBT skill-building based on what the person needs.

Online sessions make this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can fit busy schedules or provide brief check-ins. These options help people access therapy around work, childcare, or travel and let licensed professionals support progress without requiring in-person visits.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
