About Danielle
Danielle Washington is an Illinois LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and the life changes that come with early adulthood and beyond.
She focuses on practical goal work and skills building. Danielle encourages people who are ready to try new strategies and put in effort toward change. She combines evidence-based methods with faith-based support when clients ask for it.
In sessions she uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered and emotion-focused ideas to help people feel heard while they sort through hard feelings.
Danielle has worked in community counseling since 2012 and brings experience with addictions, trauma and post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use. She also helps people dealing with family conflict, adoption and foster care issues, fertility and parenting stress, and financial worries.
Her approach is straightforward. She helps clients set realistic goals, test what works, and build coping skills for everyday life. People who prefer integrating spiritual beliefs into therapy can request faith-based elements alongside clinical methods.
Sessions are aimed at practical change over time, learning new coping strategies, and reducing symptoms that interfere with study, work, or relationships.
How Danielle uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck while you work toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for depression, panic, and anxiety by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.
Danielle treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as you go.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or shift schedules. Some formats use less bandwidth or are shorter check-ins, which can help when you need a quick conversation during a break. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in day-to-day life rather than on a single technique.
