About Danielle

Danielle Van Dusen is a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire who integrates client-centered care with evidence-based strategies to address a broad range of concerns.

Background and approach

With 12 years of experience, she draws on approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and mindfulness to help clients explore emotions, patterns, and practical skills for daily life. Danielle emphasizes the importance of healthy relationships and the role of self-connection in overall well-being.

Her practice focuses on issues including addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family challenges, along with many related areas such as parenting, intimacy-related problems, stress, and compassion fatigue. Danielle also attends to complex or intersecting difficulties like co-morbidity, attachment concerns, and body image.

She approaches each person as an individual, tailoring interventions to their needs and preferences while honoring cultural and systemic factors that shape experience. Danielle aims to help clients identify current challenges and create workable paths forward.

She offers an initial consultation at no cost and will provide referrals when a different level of care or specialty is more appropriate.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Danielle commonly blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense mood swings, relationship conflicts, and patterns of self-directed distress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical coping strategies, often used for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, priorities, and preferences and then adapt DBT, CBT, or client-centered methods as appropriate to create a tailored plan and measurable goals.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These options allow people to access consistent care from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use shorter or more conversational formats when that better suits their daily life and communication style.
