About Danielle
Danielle Fera is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She has over 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Danielle aims to make the first steps feel manageable and practical so people can move toward clearer goals.
Her sessions focus on what each person wants to accomplish. She and the client set simple, concrete goals together and track progress over time.
Background and approach
Danielle treats mental health as part of overall wellbeing and works to connect daily life with the progress made in sessions. Danielle uses a mix of tools drawn from evidence-based approaches. She often blends straightforward cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness skills.
For people who have experienced trauma, she can use EMDR or trauma-focused methods when appropriate. In conversation she aims to be direct and supportive. People can expect practical strategies they can try between appointments and space to talk through what’s most pressing.
Danielle emphasizes collaboration and adjusts methods to fit what each person needs. Her experience includes a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, grief, eating issues, panic, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges with attention. She works in English and holds Missouri LPC number MO LPC 2015026834.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are; online sessions let the therapist follow the client’s lead and prioritize what matters most in the moment. This approach helps people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental setting to talk through immediate concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a hands-on method that looks at thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT includes practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed during video calls or via messaging, and it works well for anxiety, panic, and mood challenges.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for processing trauma memories. When appropriate, aspects of trauma-focused work can be adapted for remote delivery and combined with other techniques to support recovery.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable, and will adjust methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit for each person.
Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range lets people pick what fits their schedule and comfort level, and it makes it easier to keep up with regular sessions and homework between meetings.
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.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
