Dr. Danielle Johnson, MD, LCPC

Dr. Danielle Johnson practices with a focus on clear, practical approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns. She is an MD and a licensed clinical professional counselor, and she aims to create room for intentional listening and real problem solving.

Her work emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and practicing new behaviors that reduce distress. She also integrates techniques drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches when they fit the person’s goals.

People come to her for help with substance use concerns, depression, trauma and grief, and adjustment after life changes. She also addresses relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and issues tied to immigration or multicultural stress. Practical tools for day-to-day coping are a common part of sessions.

Dr. Johnson has eight years of clinical experience and is pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree. She balances evidence-informed methods with attentive listening, aiming to help people feel heard and to build skills that matter outside the therapy hour.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She works with each person to set achievable goals and practices skills together in session so people can test them in their daily lives. The overall aim is to help people move toward greater emotional stability and clearer direction.

CBT and Skills-Based Work Delivered Online

Dr. Johnson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new responses. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors. Client-centered work forms the other main strand of her practice, which means sessions start from listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping goals together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are sometimes added to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance for intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about current needs and goals, try methods in session, and adjust methods as progress and preferences become clearer. This collaborative process helps match tools to what actually helps in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make scheduling easier, allow quick skills practice, and let people fit therapy into busy days without long commutes.
