Background and approach
Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than clinical jargon. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where people set the pace and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a tool she brings in when people want help finding the motivation to change habits, including substance use. Danyale explains things plainly and offers simple tools clients can use between sessions.
She emphasizes that asking for help is a practical choice, not a sign of weakness. The work aims to reduce symptoms and build skills for handling stress, anger, and life changes.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Saint Joseph and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College, City University of New York. The LMHC credential signals state licensure to practice in New York.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people set the goals and pace for sessions, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers clear, practical exercises people can try between meetings to reduce anxious thinking and improve mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find the motivation to make changes, especially around habits and substance use. It uses questions and reflection to move someone from uncertainty toward action.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging fits people who prefer written check-ins or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and daily life.
