About Dannette
Dannette Vest is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people feel understood as they work toward change.
Dannette builds therapy around clear, practical steps. She helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and then practices new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that fit daily life rather than abstract ideas that are hard to use. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. That can include structured work on thoughts and behaviors, strategies to manage upsetting memories, and tools to improve communication with a partner.
The goal is to reduce overwhelming symptoms and increase day-to-day functioning. Dannette blends approaches to match each person's needs. She balances direct skills practice with reflective conversations about values and goals.
Therapy is paced to each person's comfort level so progress feels steady and achievable. People who come to her often want help with major life shifts, caregiver stress, blended family issues, or the emotional fallout from adoption and foster care. She also supports those dealing with guilt, forgiveness, isolation, money concerns, and the impact of military service.
Her work is practical, compassionate, and focused on real-world results.
Evidence-based methods and online care
Dannette uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and build small actions that align with those values, even when emotions are difficult.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through options with each person and adjust techniques based on goals, progress, and personal preference. That collaborative process helps find what feels useful rather than sticking to a single method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy or changing routines.
