About Danielle
Danielle West is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Danielle also focuses on attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, life purpose, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.
Danielle draws on practical methods to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build momentum for next steps.
Her background includes several years working in school settings supporting students with emotional regulation and externalizing behaviors. That experience shaped how she explains skills plainly and breaks larger problems into manageable steps. She often shares hands-on strategies parents can use to support a child's progress when that is part of the work.
Danielle is willing to include faith values in sessions when a client wants that to be part of their care. She aims for clear communication about goals, and she checks in on what is working as therapy progresses. People can expect direct feedback, goal-focused sessions, and a focus on practical skills they can try between meetings.
Sessions use a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients start by using the site matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session based on the match results.
How Danielle Uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online
Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts, try alternative ways of thinking, and practice small behavioral changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, which involves exploring a person's reasons for change and strengthening their own motivation. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps and benefits from a collaborative, step-by-step plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on thought-behavior monitoring, motivational work, or a mix of both, and she checks progress as sessions continue.
