About Danyale
Danyale Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes a welcoming, nonjudgmental stance and encourages seeking help as a strong, constructive step toward improved well-being. With 11 years in the field, she blends empathy with practical tools to support clients in moving through difficult circumstances.
Her training includes a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Saint Joseph and a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College, CUNY. Over the course of her career she has worked with clients facing depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, trauma and abuse, and adults with developmental disabilities.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor care, offering strategies that target thought patterns, strengthen motivation, and center each person’s experience. Johnson aims to create sessions that feel comfortable and safe while providing insight and practical skills to support daily functioning.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and invites people ready to address a specific challenge or seeking ongoing support to take the next step toward change.
Approaches that guide online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it offers concrete skills for day-to-day coping and change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for each person’s experience, creating space for clients to explore feelings and values at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be especially useful for addictions or making lifestyle shifts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different methods to find what fits best. Over time treatment is adjusted based on what helps the client move toward their objectives.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide regular skill-building, reflective conversation, and motivational support tailored to each person’s situation.
