About Danna
Danna Russell is an LCSW with 18 years of clinical experience based in Utah. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem challenges using a compassionate, individualized approach.
Background and approach
Her work often attends to the emotional burdens of caregivers and those coping with compassion fatigue, and she also supports clients navigating ADHD-related concerns, codependency, and impulsivity. Her practice blends evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on self-compassion and practical skills.
She addresses communication problems, workplace stress, somatization, and issues around guilt and shame while assisting clients to clarify life purpose and cultivate self-love. Danna draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems to tailor care to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect collaborative treatment that honors their strengths while examining underlying patterns that affect mood and relationships. Danna’s style is grounded, empathetic, and focused on achievable change over time, helping people build tools for greater resilience and more satisfying daily functioning.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and mood-related symptoms. It focuses on problem-solving and skill building to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.EMDR is an approach that works with difficult memories and associated emotions through guided processing; it can be helpful for people who are struggling with past events that continue to influence current feelings and reactions. Internal Family Systems explores different parts of the self and their roles, supporting greater self-leadership and healing patterns rooted in shame, guilt, or impulsivity.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and may adapt strategies over time as progress is made.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access care from their own environments. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to use therapy tools in real-life situations while working with licensed professionals.
