Danielle Washington , LCPC

Danielle Washington is a licensed clinical professional counselor who has built a practice around helping people manage mental health symptoms and improve everyday functioning. She uses a strength-based approach that encourages clients to identify and build on their existing resources while working steadily toward meaningful goals. Danielle does not subscribe to quick fixes; instead she partners with motivated individuals who are willing to prioritize themselves and engage in the work of change.

As an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - with 11 years of experience and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Argosy University Chicago (2012), Danielle focuses on creating an environment that supports lasting progress. She collaborates with clients to uncover inconsistencies, set realistic objectives, and plan practical solutions using evidence-informed methods. When appropriate and requested by the client, she integrates faith-informed elements into treatment, combining psychological techniques with Christian counseling to align care with a client’s values.

Her approach aims to reduce unwanted symptoms and strengthen coping skills so clients can move toward a more fulfilling life. Danielle draws from proven therapeutic modalities and tailors treatment plans with timely, achievable steps that reflect each person’s unique needs and goals.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Danielle commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as a client-centered framework. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports moving toward values-driven actions - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and panic. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens and supports the client’s own capacity for growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time and invites client feedback to refine the plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps people fit care into busy schedules and varied circumstances. Working with licensed professionals remotely makes it possible to access ongoing support without sacrificing consistency, and therapists can adapt techniques to work effectively in virtual formats.
