About Danielle
Danielle Johnston is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and codependency. Danielle also addresses intimacy issues, body image, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, career stress, ADHD and other overlapping difficulties.
Her approach is interactive and direct. She draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioral work to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses acceptance-based ideas to help people tolerate difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values.
Danielle pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. She helps people recognize how early bonds affect current choices and interactions. That often means working on clear communication, managing intense emotions, and testing new ways of relating in everyday situations.
She also brings skills from dialectical methods for emotional regulation and from emotionally-focused ideas for repairing closeness and trust. Sessions include short, actionable tasks to practice between meetings. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than sudden fixes.
Danielle frames therapy as coaching plus skills training. She listens to what each person wants to change, sets concrete goals together, and focuses on small steps that build confidence. People who are tired of putting others first often find the structure and behavioral tools helpful.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Danielle often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions. That approach helps people name relational habits, practice different responses, and improve communication and closeness over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which mix of methods to try. That collaborative process lets the plan shift if something isn't helping.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the week, or let someone join without needing to rearrange a whole day. The focus remains on learning concrete skills, practicing them between sessions, and tracking small changes over time.
