About Danna

Danna Russell is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience in Utah. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Her work aims to be practical and direct for busy lives.

She pays close attention to concerns that often show up together, such as compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and workplace strain. ADHD, impulsivity, and mood concerns are also part of her clinical focus.

Background and approach

Danna helps people untangle patterns like codependency, communication problems, and chronic guilt or shame. In sessions she blends structured tools with a relational style. Clients practice skills to reduce anxious thoughts and improve daily routines.

She also guides people through painful memories when those experiences keep getting in the way of current life. Danna uses approaches that match the person and the problem. That can include techniques to shift thinking, methods that address traumatic memories, or work that maps different parts of the self and their roles.

She talks through goals with each person and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. People often come for help making decisions, feeling more confident, or coping with loss and overwhelm. Danna supports clear communication, stronger boundaries, and steps toward greater self-love and purpose.

Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and focused on daily changes that add up.

How Danna’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and action-oriented, useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps process distressing memories that keep causing strong reactions. It can reduce the intensity of those memories and their effects on daily life.

Internal Family Systems works by noticing different parts of a person that hold emotions or roles, then helping them relate to those parts with curiosity rather than judgment. That approach can be helpful for codependency, shame, or repeated internal conflicts. Danna will discuss these options and collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals and comfort level. She adjusts methods as needs change so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility that many people need. Video calls let therapists and clients see nonverbal cues and work interactively. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when a quick reflection fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or other obligations while still following a clear therapeutic plan.
