Dannette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people name patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on making sense of difficult feelings and learning specific ways to manage them. She helps people who are dealing with post-traumatic stress, grief from separation or divorce, conflicts about money, and struggles with guilt or shame.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. She combines skills-based work with conversations about values and goals. This can include short-term focused strategies and longer work on underlying relationship or trauma issues.
Dannette also supports people affected by military or veteran life, multicultural concerns, and isolation or loneliness. She addresses communication problems, infidelity, forgiveness, and caregiver burden with practical tools and gradual steps.
People who come to her for help around life purpose will find an emphasis on clarifying priorities and making manageable changes. Sessions aim to translate insight into everyday choices that fit each person's situation.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dannette uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or ease depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that fit those values even when difficult feelings remain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and adapt techniques based on each person's goals, pace, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which methods to try and when to shift course.
