About Danella

Danella Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside complementary modalities to help clients address stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines CBT tools with acceptance-based and mindfulness practices to create practical skills for managing symptoms, rebuilding daily routines, and addressing patterns that interfere with wellbeing. With five years of professional experience, she integrates a collaborative, client-centered stance when shaping each treatment plan.

Her practice emphasizes trauma recovery, grief work, and strengthening communication within families and relationships, while also offering support for parenting challenges, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and broader coping with change. Danella works with adults across the lifespan and brings experience supporting older adults as part of a holistic approach to care.

She seeks to tailor conversations and interventions to each person’s background, values, and goals, offering empathetic, respectful guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy and Skill Building

Danella often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior, helping people clarify values and take actions that align with what matters most.

She also brings a client-centered, mindful stance to virtual sessions, offering empathetic listening and techniques that foster present-moment awareness. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods suit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow for scheduling around work and family life, continued care during transitions, and regular skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor tools and homework to fit the online format so therapeutic work remains practical and outcome-oriented.
