Online approaches that help manage emotions
Danielle often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. ACT can help when people feel stuck by teaching flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at patterns of thought and behavior. CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thinking, testing it, and practicing alternative responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or anger.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. She emphasizes goal-setting and tries different tools until a good fit emerges.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience. Video is useful for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities while keeping progress moving forward.
