More about Danielle
- 11 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their unique challenges and strengths. I have extensive experience working with young adults, addressing issues ranging from anxiety and relationship dynamics to trauma recovery and personal growth.
My therapeutic practice is deeply rooted in understanding the nuanced experiences of individuals, with a particular commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ communities and those seeking a progressive, non-religious therapeutic approach. I focus on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication skills, and work through challenging emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in addressing a wide spectrum of concerns, including mood disorders, attachment issues, workplace challenges, and addiction. My goal is to empower individuals to develop resilience, build meaningful connections, and create positive life transformations at their own pace.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
