Background and approach

Danielle uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to calm overwhelming feelings. She also integrates client-centered and existential ideas to help people find meaning and make values-based choices. Over two decades of practice in South Dakota have exposed her to many life challenges.

That experience informs how she supports people facing parenting stress, compassion fatigue, fertility issues, first responder concerns, and major life transitions. She also works with issues like attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication struggles. Danielle tailors the pace and tools to each situation.

She encourages honest talk about what’s working and what’s not. The goal is to build practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steadier emotion regulation. She offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

All work is conducted in English and follows her state licensure in South Dakota (ID LCPC LCPC-5459, SD LPC LPC1060).

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back clearly, and helps shape goals that feel right to the client. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, collaborative experience.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT typically includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between sessions. It is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles.

Mindfulness techniques help people notice stress and strong emotion without getting pulled in. Practices taught in sessions can be simple breathing exercises and short grounding practices to use when emotions spike. These tools pair well with CBT and client-centered work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they adjust methods over time to find the best fit for coping, communication, and meaning-making.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make therapy more flexible. They let people connect from home, manage intermittent schedules, and use messaging for brief check-ins. These options can make it easier to keep momentum while working on change with a licensed professional.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
