About Danielle Johnston
Danielle Johnston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of clinical experience who works with people facing a broad range of emotional and relational challenges. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and identity concerns, coping with life changes, substance use issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy questions, eating and sleeping struggles, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, attention differences, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment themes, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, communication and control difficulties, dissociation, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness.
Her approach blends evidence-informed therapies tailored to each person's needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential approaches, the Gottman Method, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative and Psychodynamic therapies, Solution-Focused work, Somatic and Trauma-Focused methods, and Internal Family Systems. Danielle describes her style as warm, encouraging, interactive, and coaching-oriented, aiming to help people build practical skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve relational patterns.
Sessions are shaped around the goals a person brings, with a focus on small, achievable steps that can be practiced between meetings. She emphasizes helping people learn to calm physiological reactions, co-regulate when appropriate, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and make choices that increase self-efficacy and quality of life. Danielle values hearing each individual's story and partnering with them to create sustainable change and greater well-being.

One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Individuals can choose how they connect with a therapist - by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to engage in care in the way that feels most comfortable.
Sessions are offered by licensed professionals and therapists who work with clients to find the right therapeutic fit. If a different approach or therapist is preferred, it is typically possible to make a change to better meet individual needs.
