About Danielle
Danielle Johnston is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and changes in life circumstances. She focuses on restoring self-esteem, improving communication, and building coping skills people can use day to day. Danielle practices in South Carolina and works in English.
Danielle favors a warm, encouraging approach. Sessions are interactive and practical. She aims to teach concrete skills people can practice between meetings and to set small, manageable goals that create momentum.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses these tools to help people notice patterns, regulate strong emotions, and change unhelpful behaviors. Danielle often focuses on nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and clearer communication.
She helps people build self-control over reactions, reframe anxious thoughts, and practice calmer responses when stress rises. The goal is steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes. Over a long clinical career she has supported people facing trauma, relationship strain, body image and eating issues, burnout, ADHD-related struggles, and career stress.
Her style includes coaching elements that encourage clients to try new behaviors and celebrate small wins. She adapts work to each person’s needs and goals.

Online support
Approaches for online work and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current trust and connection. This approach can help with intimacy problems, abandonment feelings, and communication struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. Then she and the client will pick or combine methods that fit the situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be shorter or fit into a work break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, homework reviews, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions.
