About Danielle
Danielle Stivers is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) licensed in Maryland with 12 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the everyday strain of parenting. She also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and help people put words to their experience. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and notice what is already working.
Danielle mixes that clinical work with a practical interest in physical health. She has a background in nutrition and fitness and also works as a nutrition coach and personal trainer outside of therapy. She often discusses exercise, eating habits, and simple routines as part of plans to lift mood and build confidence.
Sessions tend to be concrete and action-oriented. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, problem solving, and small homework tasks when useful. Danielle emphasizes clear steps that can fit into a busy home life.
People choose her when they want help managing worry, improving self-worth, repairing strained relationships, or finding a way forward after loss or major change. She works in English and is licensed in Maryland.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone brings. Online conversations follow the same pattern - the therapist mirrors concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps people name thoughts and feelings. This approach helps when someone needs a calm place to sort through stress or family issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session CBT can include tracking thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing short exercises between meetings. This method often helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that produce change. Online work can set brief goals, check progress, and adjust plans to fit daily life. The therapist and client collaborate to pick strategies that are realistic for the client’s schedule and responsibilities.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help decide what fits best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed.
