About Danielle
Danielle Johnston is an LPC with 24 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in life. She supports those facing relationship struggles, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and addiction concerns. Danielle focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more confident.
She uses clear, active methods to teach new ways of thinking and relating. Danielle often works on calming physical reactions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and improving communication.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at small, achievable steps so progress is visible over time. Her work draws from several therapeutic approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She blends emotion work with skills practice so people learn both understanding and tools to cope.
The goal is to help clients make choices that match their values rather than react from fear. Danielle’s style is warm, encouraging, and interactive. She frames therapy like coaching - setting goals together and assigning short tasks between meetings.
Many people come for help with anxiety, career strain, eating or sleeping difficulties, or problems with intimacy and communication. Based in South Carolina, Danielle conducts sessions in English and offers online formats. She tailors conversations and objectives to each person’s needs and celebrates small successes along the way.
If you want straightforward guidance and steady support while you make changes, she focuses on practical steps you can use right now.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. Online ACT sessions often involve exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to value-based steps people can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. In remote sessions this can include tracking thoughts, practicing new behaviors at home, and reviewing results together. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; online work can include mapping relationship patterns and practicing new ways to connect and communicate.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over the first few sessions she and the client will decide which techniques to emphasize and what homework or practice will help most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for in-depth work and real-time skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let someone send quick updates, try short exercises, or stay connected between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life.
