About Danielle
Danielle (Dani) Spolarich is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 16 years of experience in Minnesota. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or anger. Dani uses straightforward, practical methods to help people get through hard moments and find clearer ways forward.
Clients meet a calm, direct style that balances listening with action. Sessions aim to identify what creates distress and test small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Dani pays attention to life transitions, work strain, caregiving stress, and issues tied to chronic illness or trauma. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build motivation for change. She also uses Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused techniques to set clear goals and address past hurts when they affect daily life.
Dani often helps people with relationship patterns, communication problems, parenting strain, sleep disruption, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. The focus is always on practical coping skills and steps people can try between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled to fit a busy life. Dani works collaboratively with each person to create an approach that matches their goals, values, and pace. The emphasis is on small, measurable progress rather than quick fixes.

How practical approaches meet online therapy
Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT helps people spot patterns of thinking that worsen stress or anger and then practice different ways of reacting. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person's own reasons and confidence to make changes, especially around habits like substance use or avoidance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dani will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so therapy feels relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and try new strategies in everyday life.
