01About Danielle
Danielle (Dani) Spolarich is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 16 years of experience working with adults in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. Dani uses straightforward, practical methods so conversations feel useful from the first session.
She often helps people who are struggling with stress, addiction, trauma, sleep problems, or parenting pressures. Dani also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and identity concerns such as LGBT-related stress.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to relationship patterns and communication problems that make daily life harder. Dani draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and build momentum for change.
Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals for real progress. In trauma-informed work she helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions are collaborative and practical - she listens, reflects, and suggests specific tools to try between meetings.
Over time clients learn skills to handle triggers and reduce reactivity. Dani offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. She speaks English and practices in Minnesota as an LPCC.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Danielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that fuel worry or low mood and then test small changes to those patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, and many everyday problems. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and build motivation to change habits; this approach is often used for addiction, engagement in treatment, and making health-related changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dani will work with each person to weigh their goals, comfort level, and past experiences to decide which methods to try. She adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the client's needs rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible and flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a check-in during a break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, progress notes, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people schedule care around work, family, and daily life.
