About Danielle
Danielle Sanchez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addiction, mood disorders, trauma, relationship and family stress, and problems like codependency and abandonment. Danielle speaks English and practices in California.
Before her current work she completed a master's in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University in 2018. She spent several years in outpatient mental health programs serving people involved with the criminal legal system, including clients who experienced chronic homelessness and people reentering the community after incarceration. That background shaped how she handles practical life challenges alongside emotional work.
In sessions she uses approaches from attachment-based therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She mixes methods to fit what each person brings to the room rather than following one fixed method. Expect straightforward conversations that link feelings and behaviors to everyday choices.
Danielle often helps people change patterns tied to substance use, compulsive behaviors, or relationship dynamics. She also addresses anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma-related issues, including past sexual abuse. Her clinical focus includes impulsivity, mood disorders, and personality-related problems when those affect daily functioning.
Clients who value clear goals and practical steps may find her approach helpful. She guides people in weighing options, trying small experiments, and learning skills for managing distress. To begin, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this helps people notice how they reach for others, hold back, or react when they feel threatened, which is useful for relationship and codependency concerns.Client-centered therapy centers on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients name what matters to them so sessions stay focused on practical goals and day-to-day decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and experiments you can try between meetings to test new ways of responding to stress, cravings or relationship triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, comfort, and what seems to help. That process can include adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed together.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow for a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Discuss practical needs during the matching process so session length and timing can be chosen to fit ordinary life.
