About Danyale
Danyale Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who welcomes people looking for practical support during stressful or painful times. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on helping clients manage anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and parenting-related stress. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging for someone taking a first step toward help.
She has eleven years of experience in mental health work. Danyale earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Saint Joseph and later completed a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Brooklyn College, City University of New York.
Background and approach
Those training experiences shaped her interest in how thoughts and behaviors affect daily life. In sessions she aims to make people feel comfortable and heard. She listens closely, offers clear feedback, and introduces practical tools clients can use between meetings.
She emphasizes that reaching out for help is a strong choice, not something to be ashamed of. Her practice draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. These methods guide conversations, help identify unhelpful patterns, and build small steps toward change.
Danyale also has experience working with adults who have developmental disabilities and with people facing substance use and mood-related challenges. She provides care from New York and offers several online formats to fit different needs. For parents or people juggling life changes, she focuses on realistic strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
How practical approaches meet flexible online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing each person’s experience and creating a supportive space. It helps people feel understood and decide what changes matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people move toward change by strengthening personal motivation and setting small, achievable goals. It pairs well with CBT when someone is ready to tackle habits like substance use or behavior patterns that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust them based on what helps most.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video and phone sessions let people meet face-to-face without travel, while live chat and text offer shorter check-ins and flexible support. These options aim to make consistent work on goals more manageable and practical for everyday life.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
