About Danielle
Danielle Johnston is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in South Carolina with 24 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, substance use concerns, and the everyday strain of family life. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, and changes like separation or career shifts.
Her approach is hands-on and skills-focused. Sessions often include practical tools to manage strong emotions, reduce worry, and change patterns that keep problems stuck. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to reshape thinking and on attachment-based work to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behavior.
Danielle uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and present-moment skills. She also integrates emotionally-focused ideas to address intimacy-related struggles and communication problems. This mix is applied in short, actionable steps clients can practice between sessions.
Over two decades in practice have given her a range of clinical experience with addiction-related concerns, nervous system dysregulation, and mood disorders such as bipolar presentations. Sessions may include coaching elements focused on concrete behavior change and building daily routines that reduce overwhelm.
People who choose her work with clear, measurable goals. She asks clients what they want to change and uses small, achievable tasks so progress is visible. To begin, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session to set goals together.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It teaches practical skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to steps that matter for everyday life, useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring patterns in close relationships and the ways early bonds influence current reactions. It helps people understand triggers in relationships and build more predictable responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust methods as you go. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and small between-session tasks decided together.
The biography did not list specific session delivery methods. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so meetings can be squeezed into a weekday break. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these benefits to keep progress steady while matching therapy to everyday life.
