About Danielle

Danielle Johnston is an experienced licensed professional counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on two decades plus of clinical work to help clients understand patterns that maintain distress and to develop concrete skills for coping, emotional regulation, and healthier communication. Her style blends warmth and practical coaching; she works collaboratively to set goals and give short, achievable tasks between sessions so progress is measurable.

Techniques come from well-established therapies such as cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavioral strategies, and attachment-informed work to address emotions, thinking patterns, and relational dynamics. Danielle frames therapy as a process of learning new responses to old triggers and guiding clients toward improved self-understanding and daily functioning.

Based in South Carolina, she offers sessions that emphasize validation, skill-building, and stepwise changes tailored to each person’s priorities. Clients can expect an encouraging, interactive presence focused on helping them rehearse and integrate healthier habits into everyday life.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions aligned with personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and practice, which is useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, and many everyday challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships, helping people improve communication, trust, and emotional connection.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different methods to create a tailored plan. Clients are invited to give feedback so techniques and pacing can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy lives and varied schedules. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide regular skill-building, coaching, and relational work while clients practice strategies in their everyday environments.
