About Danielle

Danielle Washington meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps forward. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, grief, stress, relationship and career pressure, and the wear of major life changes. Danielle emphasizes building coping skills and realistic goals so clients leave sessions with something they can use right away.

She brings 11 years of counseling experience and practices as an IL LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

Background and approach

Danielle blends evidence-based methods with a strengths-focused outlook. When requested, she weaves Christian counseling and prayer into sessions alongside therapeutic techniques. Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward.

She listens first, then helps identify patterns that keep problems stuck. Together clients set short-term steps and longer-term aims to reduce symptoms and build resilience. Danielle commonly uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work.

Those methods are used to address anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, panic, and issues like isolation, fertility stress, or parenting strains related to adoption and foster care. Clients can expect a practical focus on skills - emotional regulation, communication, problem solving, and handling impulsivity or hoarding behaviors.

Danielle aims to help people increase daily functioning, reconnect with values, and move toward a more manageable, purposeful life.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clarity about personal values and teaches flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions. It helps people who feel stuck by focusing on meaningful action rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain momentum, and use the approaches above in real time.
