How her approaches can work online
Danielle commonly blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, then helping them name what matters and set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete strategies to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions run high, teaching grounding, regulation and distress-tolerance techniques that can be practiced between meetings. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review goals and try methods to see what fits best. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
