About Danielle
Danielle Whiteside is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, anxiety, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. Danielle also works with career and family problems that come up in early adulthood and beyond.
Danielle uses a relational, strengths-oriented approach. She helps people notice repeated patterns, improve communication, and set practical goals. Sessions often address attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and blended family dynamics.
Her work includes tools from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories and the Gottman Method for relationship work when couples bring communication or conflict issues.
Danielle introduces mindfulness skills to reduce stress and improve emotion regulation. She aims for clear steps clients can use between sessions to handle day-to-day pressures like work, study, money, and relationship stressors. Practical, short-term goals are part of how she structures work together.
Clients are invited to notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and adjust goals as progress is made. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's online matching and scheduling process to set a first session and confirm the session options that fit them.
How Danielle’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals, which can be useful for relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.EMDR is a structured method for working through traumatic memories and their emotional effects. In a session it involves guided attention while processing distressing memories to reduce their intensity. That approach can be useful when trauma or abuse is a central concern.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Danielle will review your goals and preferences and suggest one or more approaches to try. You can give feedback as you go so methods and homework are adjusted to what helps you most.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, shifts, or commutes, and some approaches translate to shorter check-ins or written exercises between meetings. Talk with Danielle during the matching process about how to structure sessions to match your schedule and needs.
