About Danielle

Dr. Danielle Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with eight years of experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She also supports those dealing with attachment issues and codependency. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be seen.

Dr. Johnson frames her work around a client-centered approach. She listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. From there she offers practical tools to reduce emotional pain and improve day-to-day coping. Many clients come for help with substance use, anxiety, depression, and trouble adjusting to life changes.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques and skills drawn from dialectical behavior work. These approaches aim to change unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and teach concrete strategies for calmer responses. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas and relationship tools from the Gottman Method when relationship concerns are part of the picture.

Dr. Johnson is pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree and integrates new, relevant skills into her practice as appropriate. She emphasizes whole-body wellbeing and looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Practical skill-building and reflective conversation are regular parts of sessions.

People who feel stuck putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or live around another person's unpredictable drinking or moods may find her focus areas relevant. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through priorities and build rapport at the start of care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new responses; it often uses exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be taught, practiced, and reviewed during online meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose the methods that fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions often focus on what is most urgent and which tools feel useful, then adapt as progress is made.

Session formats were not specified in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as scheduling shorter check-ins during work breaks or avoiding travel time. Online sessions can support consistent skill practice, easier attendance from different locations, and straightforward sharing of worksheets and exercises to use between meetings.
