More about me

Licensing: PHD, LPC Years in Practice: 16 State: Indiana

Greetings! I have been a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Florida for six years and providing psychological services for more than 15. My first experience with psychology was in high school. I remember being fascinated by the mind, psychological research, and the ways people can be similar and different at the same time. Initially, I believed that I was made for analysis and assessment. Still, During my time at Nova Southeastern University, I was encouraged to do initial practicum work in an outpatient addictions program. As it turns out, I much enjoyed the experience and providing therapeutic services. I continued involvement in both areas. As someone who enjoys learning, this initial experience broadened my mind to the many possible psychology areas and the benefits therapeutic services offer. During the remainder of my doctorate work, I provided services to individuals seeking motivation for change, coping with depression, experiencing anxiety, personality difficulties, or struggling with co-occurring addiction-related concerns. My studies further allowed me to work with individuals experiencing significant financial distress, homelessness, legal interests, and neurological deficits. I have provided services at inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, and outreach settings.

My approach to treatment can best is eclectic, holistic, and individualized. Having been trained in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialect Behavioral Therapy, I can offer guidance from multiple theoretical frameworks. Although it can be initially uncomfortable to speak with a stranger about significant personal concerns, my goal is to provide an environment that is friendly, judgment-free, open-minded, empathetic, and feels like you are talking to a friend. I believe that together we can work towards meeting your goals and improving the way you feel. Please know, change takes time, and I will be there to assist you in problem-solving, identifying the issues impacting your quality of life, and developing tools to overcome difficulties.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

She is very patient and understands the importance of being able to communicate with her

Doc is awesome!

i’ve gone through so many therapists in the last few years, yet I always felt it was missing an element of empathy and genuine understanding. as a person with adhd, and complex ptsd i needed somebody who understood that i like for space to be held for me as i heal and process, not necessarily be given advice, tasks and practices. Doc Dance, i finally know what it feels like to be understood by your therapist. she’s a generous listener, always felt the sense of understanding, empathy & support during our sessions. Her sharing of relevant and valuable life experience as well as gentle communication of liberating truths about my situation (regardless if they may be hard to say or hear) has really helped me make strides in my growth and self acceptance. very grateful to have found her on here, truly a one of a kind person ✨

Dr. Dance has been great, her approach gives a comfort that I haven't had with a previous therapist. Sessions with her feel like a conversation even on the more difficult topics. But I leave each session feeling better and with something to takeaway that continues to help.

I strongly recommend Dr Dance. She has a magnificent way of understanding what I'm trying to convey when I have no idea how to myself. I'm so glad we connected through this app

Dr. D is fabulous, by far the best mental health care I've ever had. I've always had issues with psychologists and Dr. D isn't just another blazer, she's a whole person who comes from understanding as and real world experience. I've had a habit of frustrating my mental health team in the past and Dr. D absolutely gets me. She can follow me and help with my complex traumas. We have established patterns over the last year and I have a great roadmap of what I can expect. I feel confident with Dr. D on my side.

Dr. Dance is a really good therapist. Good listener, respectful of the speed we need to go. She is a no nonsense therapist, and she make me feel really heard and understood. I feel I can really confide in her, and never feel judged. I am really lucky to have her in my life

Honestly the only therapist I have connected with that I feel actually cares about me and my journey. Would recommend to anyone!

Dr. D is fabulous and fun. She understands the ADHD brain and gets me on a level that a regular stuffed shirt would not. She's not a blazer telling me to journal she is a real person asking me to challenge my thoughts. This I comprehend and can action on. She recognizes and sees progress for how big ordeal truly is versus how I personally minimize my successes. She is giving me tools to speak my truth.

Wonderful as always!

She is a wonderful talented therapist

Dr Dance is amazing. She has a comforting voice and makes me feel like I'm not crazy. She's respectful of my feelings and helps me understand why I'm feeling this way.

Best therapist I've ever had!!!

Dr. Dance is my rock in hard times. I always know that I can count on her to lift my spirits when things get hard and she is always there to encourage me to grow in the healthiest ways! I’m so lucky to have found BetterHelp and Dr. Dance.

I’ve gone through probably around 7 therapists in 10 years. When I found Dr. Dance it automatically felt like the right fit for the first time in my life. Very happy.

I really appreciate Dr. Dance listening to me without judgement. She makes it very easy to talk with her and she provides such useful information to help me through my anxiety.

Dr. Dance has helped me through some difficult issues. I always look forward to our sessions.

They are the best therapist I've ever had!

A very compassionate listener and a very helpful guide. I have been working with Dr. Dance for over a year and she has been an incredibly important addition to my life. She has helped equipped me with tools that give me the confidence to take life head on. A year ago I was having emergency calls with her, now I sometimes go weeks without talking, not because I don't miss her :), but because I am so much more strong and stable than when we first started.

She's very good Listening skills are on point!

Doc understands how I engage with the world on a level that is so integral to my therapy experience that working towards healing finally seems realistic and manageable.

Dr. Dance is understanding, supportive, and insightful. She is very knowledgeable but down-to-earth. She is also honest and straightforward in her responses. Talking to her is fun! If you’re looking for a blank slate therapist who just nods and responds to everything “tell me more about that,” then she is not the therapist for you! While keeping an appropriate professional distance, she nevertheless makes me feel like I’m chatting with a friend.

I’ve gone through something like 10 therapists and never felt a good connection to any of them. Discussions with Doc immediately felt comfortable and respectful. Prior to finding doc, I was thinking of giving up therapy all together. I’m so glad I didn’t because now I look forward to our sessions together.

It is not a therapy, it is A life changing experience with Dr. Dance.

Dr Dance has been extremely professional and very supportive in helping me with my mental health. She gave me excellent practical tools I can use long term to help me achieve my goals. As well as make me feel more comfortable in my own mind.

Hands down the best therapist! She listens and let’s me express myself. She is attentive and you can tell she cares a lot. It’s so easy to talk to her and open up to her.

Wonderful

Dr. Dance is SO wonderful. She really takes the time to listen to me and responds with empathy and uses her own experiences to share tools and insight. We had an almost instant connection and our chemistry makes an incredible therapy experience for me… I feel like I’m talking to a friend I’ve known my whole life.

Absolutely amazing! Dr. Dance has been such incredible support from the beginning. She is a great listener, is empathetic, and consistently asks the right questions that challenge me and offer the tools needed for growth. Super thankful!

She is the best therapist I've ever had! So knowledgeable and caring!

Dr dance has been helping me through so long and is giving me many perspective on things which is helping me through.

I've only had two sessions with Dr. Dance thus far, but she seems terrific -- very empathetic, and intelligent.

Having been in therapy with Danie has been as big of a life changing experience as finding out I had ADHD in the first place, every week is a new "aha" moment. She's a great, active listener, her knowledge is wide and deep in all ADHD topics (and not only, she's a bit of a walking encyclopedia) and shares with me not only what she knows but her thinking process as well, which is the spark that enlightens the sole knowledge as she's incredibly smart, so the mind paths she articulates are deep enough that they're able to stay put in my mind, simple enough for me to understand. Every session is rich in verbalizing feelings and thoughts, every though situation I'm facing in my life I've begun to apply the rule "what would Danie say" as a mind dialogue that helps me unlock entanglements to reach kinder, smarter reactions quicker, to both me and others, and helping me see my slightly different and messier brain as not too bad after all. Thanks for everything, Doc!

I don't know what I would do without Dr. Dance's guidance and support. I wish I could spend every day talking with her, and with the option of messaging I know I will never feel alone or lost because she will be there to guide me when I need it! Thank you!

Dr. Dance is phenomenal. In the short time I've been doing sessions with her, I've felt so much better about myself and my mental health. She listens, she understands, she actually cares and she's real. Hard to find these days.

Dr.Dance has helped me understand, explore, and challenge the way I feel towards my life and relationships. She is very validating, and I am better able to deal with distressing situations because of the work we have done together. She is honest, open minded, and funny - a refreshing personality :)

Danie is just what I wanted and needed in a counsellor. She totally gets me and helps me feel a little less crazy. She is very knowledgeable and empathetic of my needs. Big fan!

My experience so far with Dr.Dance has been great. She is an amazing listener and she makes me feel understood. It's only been a short while and I already feel a strong connection with her. It's a relief to have her on my "heathly me team". I always look forward to our sessions together and finally feel good about getting help for myself.

Dr. Dance has been so kind and helpful. I never feel any judgment nor do I feel self-conscious talking about personal issues. It's been a really wonderful experience.

I have never had help of this sort, and I was skeptical in the beginning. But Dr. Dance is helping me understand myself and my the reason behind my behavior more, this is helping me improve in the areas I'd like.

Dr. Danielle has been such a huge support for me as I walk the path of recuperating from extreme stress and anxiety. She has been a strong source of motivation, encouraging me to be strong, and to make the better decisions. Her constant, unbiased approach to provide me the warmth and comfort I needed is truly appreciated. I would not have had the peace of mind today had it not been for her guidance. I am full of gratitude to you, Dr. Danielle.

Dr. Dance is one of the few good people in the world. All she’s shown me was support, understanding, no judgement and a whole lot of compassion. I’ve grown a lot with her and I still have more growing to do. We have a great banter and interesting conversations. I wouldn’t want anyone else helping me!

Fantastic councillor. Very down to earth and relatable ♥️

Dr Dance is personable, professional, and helpful

Dr. Dance is very warm and open. She listens to my worries and helps to re-contextualise them. She has a wide range of approaches to therapy and has managed to tailor an approach for me as an individual.
