More about Danelle
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Licensed School Social Worker (LSSW), and a Certified Alcohol Drug Counselor (CADC) in the state of North Carolina. For the past 25 years, I have been providing supportive social work services for youth and families in a public school setting. Additionally, I have been offering part-time substance abuse services for 22 years and mental health clinical services for 7 years. My main goal is to assist individuals in overcoming obstacles and reaching their full potential.
Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse age groups and special populations, gaining valuable experience in addressing various mental health conditions such as substance abuse, depression, anxiety, addiction, anger management issues, grief/loss, trauma, and relationship conflicts, among others. In my therapeutic approach, I adopt a Person-Centered perspective. I firmly believe in focusing on an individual's abilities, rather than their condition, disability, or limitations. By tailoring treatment to their specific needs and circumstances, I aim to help them achieve their personal aspirations. However, depending on the individual's requirements, treatment goals, and desired outcomes, I may employ different therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Danelle has been a great listener and has been really honest with me about what I need to do to accomplish my goals. She motivates me to be my best self and recognizes what makes me unique so she can help in the best way for me.
It's the first time I have been comfortable in therapy. She gives me tools to work with.
She is very understanding and attentive. I feel like she listens to me and helps me focus on the things I want to work on.
I feel like Danelle is a perfect fit for my goals! I think it's not too often that you meet a therapist that can help with both substance abuse and things like reading social cues. It's very nice that I could connect with her through BetterHelp even though she's further away than I would be able to travel to see her in "real life." I was skeptical about this platform at first, but I'm so happy that I've met a therapist who is a really good fit for me and who I can see on a weekly basis!
My past experience with therapy made it difficult to seek help. That has changed once I matched with Danelle. Danielle is very attentive, non-judgemental understanding and compassionate about her work. I felt very empowered after our first session to focus on healing. I feel safe disclosing and expressing myself which I've hesitated too in the past. She has helped me through some dark moments! Hands down I would recommend her to anyone! Truly a gem :)
