About Danielle

Danielle Anderson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who draws on 17 years of clinical experience to help people navigate emotional challenges and life transitions.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and difficulties with self-esteem, while also supporting clients working through ADHD, bipolar concerns, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Danielle creates a collaborative setting where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment and set practical goals for change.

Her practice welcomes discussion of sexuality and relationship diversity, including BDSM and kink topics, polyamory, gender dysphoria, and other nontraditional relationship structures. She also focuses on family of origin issues, communication problems, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic and phobias, sleeping troubles, and questions about life purpose.

Based in California and offering treatment in English, Danielle tailors sessions to each person’s needs and helps them move toward greater functioning and well-being.

Evidence-Informed Therapy and Online Convenience

Danielle frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, compulsions, or mood disturbances. This approach emphasizes skill building and gradual behavior change to address specific problems and improve daily functioning.

Her work also emphasizes collaborative formulation and goal-setting so treatment reflects each person’s priorities and values. She partners with clients to explore which methods fit best, adapting techniques and pacing to match needs, goals, and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and keep momentum during life transitions while working with a licensed professional in California.
