About Danielle

Danielle Dessaso is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship challenges, bolster self-esteem and confidence, and adapt to major life changes.

Background and approach

Danielle approaches each client as the expert of their own story, drawing attention to the strengths they already possess and building practical strategies around those resources. She integrates evidence-based techniques to address concerns such as motivation, coping with transitions, and ADHD-related difficulties, while also attending to areas like body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and multicultural concerns.

Danielle aims to make beginning therapy feel achievable, encouraging prospective clients to recognize the courage in taking that first step and offering steady support as they work toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.

Evidence-Informed Care and Flexible Online Options

Danielle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She uses practical, skills-oriented interventions that help clients manage anxiety and stress and develop clearer daily routines; these approaches teach coping strategies and problem-solving tools that can reduce overwhelm. She also incorporates strength-focused methods that highlight a person's existing resources and build confidence, which can be especially helpful when addressing relationship concerns, self-esteem, or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle works with clients to identify goals, explore what feels most useful, and adjust techniques over time so the plan fits each person's needs and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy in her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, making it easier for clients to maintain progress while balancing daily responsibilities.
