Dr. Danielle Johnson, LCPC

Dr. Danielle Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She aims to listen carefully and give practical tools so people can feel heard and begin to heal. Her style is warm and grounded, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and is pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree. That ongoing study informs how she blends different approaches in everyday work. Many clients come for help with substance use, mood concerns, grief, and life adjustments after major changes.

Her practice emphasizes a client-centered stance that pays attention to whole-body wellness. She uses specific techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and manage symptoms. Emotionally-focused ideas and the Gottman Method are woven in when relationship patterns are a key concern.

Dr. Johnson also addresses attachment issues, codependency, immigration-related stress, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She supports people dealing with recovery, forgiveness work, and the long-term effects of sexual assault and abuse. Her approach combines listening with practical skill-building.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. People who choose to work with her can expect collaborative conversations that focus on goals, learning new ways to cope, and small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Johnson often combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of the Gottman Method. Client-centered therapy means sessions start with careful listening and reflecting so the person's concerns shape the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on practical skills and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. The Gottman Method provides concrete ways to notice and change interaction patterns when relationship stress is part of the concern.

Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. Many people find that a mix of listening, skill practice, and relationship-focused exercises fits their situation better than one single method.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day, fewer travel demands, and the ability to continue work while living in another country since she accepts international clients. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to follow through on exercises between sessions and to check in more regularly when helpful.
