About Danielle
Dr. Danielle Johnson is a licensed professional counselor in Maryland who focuses on helping people find practical ways forward. She centers sessions on listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can identify small, realistic steps toward change. Her work often addresses substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, and life adjustments.
With eight years of clinical experience, she blends client-centered care with evidence-based methods like Motivational Interviewing and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix helps people clarify goals, build coping skills, and reduce unhelpful patterns. She also draws on dialectical and emotion-focused ideas when emotions run high or relationships feel stuck.
She commonly supports people dealing with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, attachment issues, codependency, and identity concerns. She also works with those facing grief, guilt, shame, or the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters. Drug and alcohol addiction, harm reduction, and ADHD-related struggles are among other focus areas she addresses.
Dr. Johnson is pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree and integrates new, applicable skills into sessions as they fit each person. Her approach emphasizes whole-body wellness and practical tools that can be used between appointments. She aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can try different strategies and notice what helps.
She asks people to set the pace and goals for therapy, and she offers guidance tailored to individual needs. To begin, prospective clients use the site process to match and schedule a visit based on what works for them.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by focusing on their own values and goals. Online work using this approach often involves short goal-setting conversations and follow-up check-ins to notice progress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship; that foundation guides how sessions are paced and what goals are chosen together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns; online CBT can include homework and brief skill practice between visits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. This therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Together they try approaches, adjust them, and track what helps so sessions stay practical and focused.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when small adjustments are needed. They can also let people use video for full conversation or choose alternatives that better fit their comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like Motivational Interviewing and CBT to work well across different formats, helping clients practice skills between appointments and apply them to everyday situations. -
