Approaches that guide online care
Danielle often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest techniques that fit. That plan is adjusted over time to match progress and life changes in a collaborative way.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions help them use skills in real daily contexts and maintain continuity of care through transitions.
