Danielle Loptien, LPC

Danielle Loptien is a Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, anger, or issues with self-esteem. She also supports concerns related to ADHD, LGBT identity, body image, and the transition into young adulthood.

Danielle uses clear, practical conversation to make sense of what's happening now. She listens without judgment and focuses on what feels most pressing to the person in front of her. Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps that can change daily routines and reduce distress.

Her approach blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with attachment-based and client-centered ideas. That means Danielle helps people notice patterns of thinking, understand relationship dynamics, and shape goals that feel personally meaningful. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to help people try specific strategies between sessions.

Danielle is licensed in Oregon and Colorado as an LPC, and she integrates her experience to tailor each plan. Conversations often include practical skill-building for coping with anxiety, communication practice for relationship problems, and ways to rebuild confidence and motivation.

People who meet with her typically leave with concrete tools and a clearer idea of next steps. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs and schedule. Danielle aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first appointment.

Using practical approaches in online care

Danielle blends cognitive behavioral therapy with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to guide online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-based work looks at how relationship histories shape current interactions and helps people change patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and building goals that matter to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Danielle will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's goals and preferences. Conversations include checking what helps, adjusting strategies, and focusing on small experiments that can be tried between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work through emotions face to face. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between appointments or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain regular momentum and apply skills in everyday moments.
