01About Danielle
Danielle Washington focuses on people who are ready to make change and willing to do the work. She writes plainly and directly with clients who want practical steps to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Danielle aims to create a respectful space where goals are clear and progress is measurable.
She brings 11 years of counseling experience and holds LCPC, which is the Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential. Danielle combines evidence-based methods with a strengths-based outlook.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to identify what matters to them and to take steady steps toward those values. Danielle pairs cognitive-behavioral strategies with acceptance-based ideas to help with anxiety, depression, panic, and post-traumatic stress. She also uses techniques to address addictions, process problems, and seasonal mood shifts.
When requested, she integrates Christian counseling and prayer alongside clinical approaches. Many people come to her about relationship strain, family and parenting stress, grief, career changes, fertility and adoption-related concerns, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. She also helps people sort through money stress, impulsivity, hoarding, and communication breakdowns.
Sessions are focused and collaborative. Danielle works with clients to set realistic goals, test small changes, and build skills that fit everyday life. She values hope, persistence, and a practical plan for improvement.

How Danielle’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. CBT is often used for panic, depression, worry, and behavioral patterns like avoidance.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try, adjust the plan as needed, and measure progress in regular sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face when needed. Phone sessions can be simpler when video isn’t required or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs written reminders of coping steps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules and to continue care during life transitions.
