About Danielle

Danielle Johnston helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She is Danielle Johnston, LPC, and brings two decades of clinical experience. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people unpack difficult emotions and improve closeness where it matters. Danielle blends talk-based tools with skills for managing intense feelings and regulating the nervous system.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build small, achievable habits that change day-to-day functioning. Her style is warm and encouraging. She treats sessions like coaching and therapy combined - people leave with a clear task to try between visits.

Danielle listens for patterns in relationships, self-image, and coping strategies, then offers ways to test new behaviors safely. Danielle has worked in counseling for many years and draws on a mix of approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral tools, and dialectical strategies. She adapts methods to each person rather than using a fixed formula.

Goals are set together and reviewed as progress happens. Typical concerns she addresses include addiction, trauma, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, and life transitions. The overall aim is to help people strengthen their sense of self, improve communication, and make changes that stick.

Clients can expect clear next steps after each session and a focus on small wins. Danielle works to make therapy understandable and practical so people can apply what they learn in everyday life.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name their core emotions and then use that awareness to change interactions and feel closer to important people. It is useful for improving emotional connection and handling intense feelings that affect relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a values-driven life. It is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges by teaching skills to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating shape current behavior and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and try new, more supported ways of relating to others.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to focus on.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can help maintain momentum between meetings or provide brief support when messaging fits better into daily life.
