About Danielle

Danielle (Dani) Spolarich is an LPCC based in Minnesota who brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on evidence-informed care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, ADHD, and stress-related difficulties. Dani emphasizes practical skill-building alongside compassionate support to help clients navigate life transitions and chronic stressors.

Her practice centers on collaboration and problem-solving, helping people examine relationship patterns, workplace pressures, and personal coping strategies. Dani draws on trauma-focused methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to strengthen emotional regulation, improve communication, and reduce unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

She aims to create a space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and set achievable goals for meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Online Care

Danielle commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy into online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and difficulty with daily functioning, offering concrete skills for symptom relief and habit change. Trauma-focused therapy emphasizes understanding how past injuries affect present reactions and safety, and it uses targeted techniques to build emotional regulation and gradual processing of traumatic material.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the nature of the challenges they bring, adjusting methods over time so care aligns with what feels most helpful and practical for the client.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging add flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from a licensed professional without commuting, support a mix of brief check-ins and longer sessions, and allow clients to practice skills in their everyday environments.
