About Danile
Danile Nachampassak Agbayani is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and depression among the concerns she works with. Danile draws on her nursing background and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to support people facing health and behavioral challenges.
She uses straightforward evidence-based techniques and a person-centered stance in sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and on practical steps to address current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to anxiety or low mood.
Danile also brings experience working with drug and alcohol issues and end-of-life care from her nursing years. That clinical experience informs how she approaches chronic illness, caregiver stress, and substance-related concerns. She aims to help people make concrete changes rather than offering vague promises.
Sessions are described as collaborative and nonjudgmental. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning that responds to real-life pressures. The focus is on small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and better daily coping.
People who struggle with social situations, performance worry, or persistent avoidance may find the CBT work useful for testing and changing patterns. Danile encourages starting even when things feel uncertain and supports pacing the work to fit each person’s readiness.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Danile uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood. CBT often involves short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions to test what works.She also draws on a person-centered approach, which prioritizes listening and understanding the client’s perspective. That method supports clear goal-setting and lets the client guide the pace and focus of the work while the therapist offers reflection and practical suggestions.
Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the work. Danile will discuss options and try approaches that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
