About Danielle
Danielle Whiteside is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support for relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at helping clients take small steps that lead to real change.
Danielle uses a relational, strengths-based way of working to help people notice repeating patterns. She guides conversations that clarify how past hurts and attachment concerns affect present choices.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical communication skills and ways to manage strong emotions. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career transitions, depression, anger, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, codependency, and blended family dynamics.
Danielle helps people sort through what matters most and set achievable goals. Therapy with her combines talk, skill-building, and present-focused strategies. Danielle draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR for trauma processing, the Gottman Method for relationship skills, and mindfulness for stress management.
She adapts these tools to a person's needs and pace. Clients connect with her from Kentucky and sessions are conducted in English. She invites people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session when it fits their calendar.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead and support personal goals through conversation and planning.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In online work CBT often uses brief exercises, worksheets, and home practice that fit between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge. When delivered online the therapist guides the process verbally and with structured tasks adapted for video or phone formats to support trauma work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan matches what feels helpful and doable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is lower, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work moving forward without long commutes.
