About Danielle

Dr. Danielle Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland. She focuses on helping people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and life adjustments. Her approach centers on listening and giving practical tools so clients feel heard and can make gradual change.

She uses a client-centered frame that treats wellness as an ongoing journey. That means sessions begin with attention to what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Conversations are meant to identify steps that fit daily life, from coping skills to clearer boundaries.

Dr. Johnson also integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those tools suit a client's goals. She brings these approaches to work on mood, anxiety, and habits related to substance use. Motivational interviewing ideas guide conversations about change and readiness.

Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and ongoing doctoral study in a counseling-related field. That combination shapes a practice focused on both evidence-informed methods and careful listening. She often supports people through trauma, grief, and adjustment after major life events.

People who connect with her can expect a calm, practical tone in sessions. The work aims to reduce distress, build coping skills, and help clients find clearer direction. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy places the person and their goals at the center of sessions. Online work with this approach means the therapist asks about what matters most and helps clients choose practical, manageable steps that fit daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; used online it helps people learn specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be taught and practiced during remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest using one or a mix of methods. That collaborative planning helps match skills to the client’s situation and keeps therapy practical and goal-focused.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into busy schedules, to reduce travel time, or to have a shorter check-in during a break. Online appointments can make it easier to maintain continuity after moving or when life gets hectic, and the therapist will discuss which setup best supports each person’s needs.
