About Danita
Danita Stapleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, handle relationship and anger issues, and build self-esteem and confidence. She also supports people navigating life changes and workplace pressures.
Danita works in a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate way. She listens first and tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions aim to be practical and clear so people can use what they learn right away.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior tools, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her help people spot unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and set small, achievable goals. Common topics she addresses include feelings of abandonment, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.
She also helps with forgiveness work and workplace difficulties. Sessions balance skill-building with a supportive space to talk through hard moments. Danita encourages realistic steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She will collaborate with each person to shape a plan that fits their situation and pace. Starting therapy is often a brave step, and she aims to make the process understandable and manageable.
Approach-focused care via online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes working from your perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps you set goals based on what matters to you, which can be useful for anxiety and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, often helpful for stress and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping - practical skills that help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning means the approach can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and more frequent contact between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
