About Danielle

Dr. Danielle Johnson combines a client-centered stance with evidence-based techniques to help people navigate emotional pain and life transitions.

Background and approach

She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland, and she brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions focused on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD. Her work emphasizes attentive, reflective listening so clients feel validated while learning practical tools to reduce emotional suffering.

Her approach highlights whole-body wellness and harm reduction, with attention to mood and anxiety-related challenges, adjustment after major life changes, and recovery from substance concerns. She is also experienced addressing attachment issues, codependency, immigration-related stress, isolation and loneliness, and the aftermath of sexual assault.

Currently pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree, she integrates new skills and techniques into practice to support individualized care. Dr.

Johnson aims to accompany clients through the process of healing, helping them build resilience and clearer pathways to recovery and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel understood while identifying their own strengths and goals; it is often useful for people processing grief, depression, or life adjustments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address patterns that maintain substance use or relationship conflict. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and coping under stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made. This collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan rather than relying on a single technique.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to connect from different locations and to use the communication style that suits them best, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, travel, or other commitments.
