About Danielle

Danielle Anderson is a California licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self esteem, depression, ADHD, and issues related to sexuality. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from California.

Danielle uses straightforward, talk-based work to identify patterns that keep problems going. She often helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, panic, phobias, or depression, and then tries out practical alternatives in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of that work and is used to break down problems into smaller, manageable steps.

Her focus extends to concerns around relationships, family of origin issues, communication problems, and non-monogamous or kink-positive relationship dynamics. She also addresses sleep troubles, guilt and shame, isolation and life transitions. Danielle aims to help clients develop clearer thinking and small routine changes that can reduce distress.

Clients can expect direct discussion about what is and is not working in daily life, with small tasks or experiments to practice between sessions. She pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, and how these shape stress and coping.

For a first visit clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions which can be canceled at any time, and location-based fees vary across California.

CBT and practical approaches for online sessions

Danielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people track thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to try small experiments that test different ways of responding. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood challenges because it breaks problems into clear, manageable steps.

She also focuses on practical problem solving for relationship communication, sleep routines, and coping with life changes. That work involves noticing patterns, making small changes, and reviewing what helped. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together based on the persons goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to session.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. Danielle will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit daily life and the pace the client prefers.
