Danielle has an inviting, polite, and positively funny tone. She knows how to say and approach her words and questions in a loving way that makes you think. I truly feel I am talking on the phone with a friend who has picked me up when I was down, encouraged me, and given me nice tough love when needed. I personally invite her perspective and wisdom on Christian counseling as well. Danielle is a blessing to me and I hope she is to you.
More about Danielle
- 11 years' experience

- LCPC
As a natural helper, I have committed myself and my knowledge towards helping others manage mental health symptoms & improve overall functioning in a safe & healthy way. My ideal client is one who is committed to achieving goals and is willing to work towards prioritizing him or herself toward positive change. Everyone is different, & as a therapist I do not believe there is a quick fix prescription for symptoms & diagnosis. I use a strength based approach to empower and encourage each client towards the achievement of their goals.
As a LCPC (licensed clinical professional counselor) with over 10 years of experience in the field of counseling, I have found that it is most important to facilitate the best environment for change. If you are reading this, I commend you for taking a major step toward changing your life for the better. I strive to partner with my client to discover inconsistencies and plan for solutions through evidence and faith based interventions. With my formula to decrease your unwanted symptoms and increase your coping skills, I will help you to become the best version of yourself.
My faith in God is what has been a cornerstone in my life and I have overcome many obstacles that seemed impossible and unbearable. I believe God has equipped me with several gifts and allowed to me combine the expertise of mental health counseling with biblical truths, and prayer to help improve of the lives of His children. I use proven mental health modalities along with Christian counseling (when requested) to provide a treatment plan with realistic and timely goals.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Danielle is simply the best. I feel so grateful to have found her. She creates such a warm, inviting environment for therapy -- so much so, if she weren't my therapist I would want to be her friend! She makes me feel so comfortable sharing difficult things and gives not only insightful advice, but tools that I can actually use to improve my character, heal my wounds & grow as an individual. Thank you Danielle!
I have been working with Danielle for over 3 months and I look forward to our sessions. I have invested in myself to occupy time and space to uncover things that I need to work on. Ot had helped significantly.
I came to BetterHelp because I was really struggling. It was important to me to have a therapist who a similar heritage and faith to me. I've been working with Danielle since June 2022. That's almost six months I came to sort out one thing but there's been many areas in my life I've seen improvement. Danielle has been compassionate and honest with me throughout. Both of which I really needed. I'll recommend her to anyone considering therapy!
Danielle is great & I appreciate getting matched with her.
My therapist is amazing!
Best one in the business
Danielle has been an incredibly important part of my journey, finding myself, and understanding my mind and body when it comes to anxiety and emotions. She’s attentive to every word, and takes the time to listen and give advise when necessary! She’s organized in the way she helps process situations and takes you in a journey of understanding your day by day!
Danielle never knew me before our sessions started but it doesn’t feel that way! It feels like we go waaayy back and our therapy sessions seems/are conversational but she’s still attentive to her expertise and our mission. She sees me, hears me and feels me and for that I’m forever grateful. I look forward to more sessions with her in the future
Danielle was everything I’ve been searching for for a very long time. She’s kind, professional, took time to understand my needs & gave incredible intentionality to the goals we set moving forward. I can’t wait to go on this journey of healing and better understanding myself with her!
Excellent counsel! Danielle is proactive, great listener and kind.
Danielle has been nothing but great. In just two sessions, she has helped me expand a lot of ways of thinking and I’m excited to discover and change certain things that have affected my mental health for years. I would recommend her to anyone!
