About Danielle

Dr. Danielle Johnson uses a client-centered approach to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life changes. She is an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she brings eight years of clinical experience to her work in Maryland.

Her style focuses on listening and presence. Sessions give people space to feel heard, name what hurts, and try practical tools for daily life. Many people come for help with mood disorders, substance use concerns, relationship strain, grief, and adjustment after big changes.

Background and approach

She draws on therapies that include cognitive behavioral techniques and skills training from dialectical behavior therapy. Those methods are used to break unhelpful patterns, manage intense feelings, and practice new ways of coping. Emotionally focused ideas and relationship tools such as the Gottman Method inform work around connection and trust.

Dr. Johnson also pays attention to attachment, codependency, and issues tied to immigration, culture, or isolation. She supports people working through sexual assault, abuse, guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose.

Harm reduction and practical support for drug and alcohol concerns are part of her focus. Her approach treats wellness as a journey rather than a one-time fix. She invites clients to collaborate on goals and to try techniques that fit their daily routines.

People who want steady listening and useful skills often find this direct, caring style helpful.

Online support

Approaches that guide online care

Dr. Johnson blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to support online clients. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping a person find their own solutions; it is useful for people who need understanding and steady support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help with intense feelings and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits each person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor work to real-life demands and priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for conversations that benefit from visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or tracking progress between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy days and to maintain momentum across different routines.
