About Daniella
Daniella Fernandez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with thirteen years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and depression, as well as related concerns such as attachment struggles, body image, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her practice also addresses isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, mood disorders, panic attacks, and developing greater self-love.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s perspective, drawing on attachment-based, emotionally-focused, and client-centered principles to create a supportive space for exploration. Daniella often incorporates cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns while also attending to relational and emotional dynamics.
She values personal choice and works with clients to discover practical paths toward balance, healing, and clearer communication. Accessible to English-speaking clients in Washington, Daniella blends clinical reflection with empathic support to guide people through transitions, recovery, and growth.
She encourages those ready to begin the work of change to take the first step and arrange a consultation.
Integrating Relational and Cognitive Work Online
Daniella commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, stress, panic, and mood disruptions. CBT offers concrete strategies for changing reactions and testing new behaviors in daily life. She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection. This approach can be useful for understanding relationship struggles, communication problems, and issues around trust and security.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Daniella partners with each client to clarify goals, assess which methods feel most helpful, and adjust the plan over time so therapy aligns with the client’s needs, preferences, and pace of change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work during life transitions, manage appointments more easily, and use varied interaction styles for skill practice, reflection, and problem solving.
