About Danielle

Danielle Washington, LCPC, is licensed in Illinois and has 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, career questions, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and depression. She describes her approach as strength based and goal focused, combining evidence-based therapies with faith-based options when requested.

Danielle looks for clients who are willing to set goals and do active work between sessions. She does not present a quick fix. Instead she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and builds practical plans to change them. The work includes skill building and problem solving as well as discussing values and priorities.

Her clinical methods include cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment strategies, dialectical behavior approaches, emotionally focused techniques, and client-centered listening. She may include Christian counseling and prayer if a client asks for faith-informed care. Treatment plans are designed with specific, time-oriented goals informed by those methods.

Danielle draws on more than a decade in counseling to guide care. She says her own faith and life experience shape how she talks about resilience and coping. That perspective is one option among several evidence-based approaches she uses in session.

Sessions focus on reducing unwanted symptoms and increasing everyday coping skills. She helps clients plan practical steps for change, track progress, and adjust strategies as needed. People can expect direct dialogue, skills practice, and measurable goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life direction concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior through practical exercises and homework. It is commonly used for depression, panic, and many anxiety problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and clarifies feelings to build insight.

Danielle treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which tools and practices to emphasize.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into a workday or to reduce travel time. Remote visits can allow shorter check-ins, flexibility around scheduling, and easier access to consistent care while balancing daily responsibilities.
