Expect straightforward talk, skill-building, and check-ins that track progress. Her experience includes helping people navigate family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence. Danielle speaks English and practices in New York.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and shapes sessions around their priorities. It helps with building trust and clarifying what to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Online CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets, and homework that clients can complete between sessions to see quick shifts in mood or reactions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories. When used online, EMDR can involve guided bilateral stimulation and careful pacing to work through traumatic material at the client’s speed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust based on what feels helpful. This collaborative process makes it easier to tailor techniques to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let you keep visual contact and read cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support quick processing or ongoing skills practice. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy family life or workday.
