About Danielle
Dr. Danielle Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and attention-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with life purpose questions and multicultural or immigration-related stress.
She listens with focused attention and uses reflective, client-centered conversation to help people sort what feels most urgent. Sessions include practical tools aimed at reducing emotional pain and improving day-to-day coping. Many clients come for help with substance use, mood or anxiety symptoms, and adjusting after major life changes.
Dr. Johnson integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior work and emotionally focused strategies when appropriate. The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship concerns and conflict work.
Her practice includes harm reduction for substance use and specific support around trauma, grief, and attachment issues. She mentions collegiate-age adjustment among common concerns, while also addressing isolation, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. Life purpose is listed as a focus area and may be part of sessions when people bring it up.
Dr. Johnson is pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree and intends to incorporate additional skills from that training into her work. People can expect concise, practical conversation that aims to make daily life more manageable while exploring longer-term goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions use this style to help people identify what matters most and to speak about their concerns in straightforward terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions; it is used to try small behavioral experiments and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Johnson will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize skills training, emotional processing, or relationship strategies.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into session conversation.
