    About Danielle

    Danielle Sanchez is an LMFT practicing in California who draws on six years of clinical experience. She earned a master’s in clinical psychology and has worked in outpatient mental health programs supporting people with complex life challenges. Danielle focuses on helping adults navigate addiction, mood disorders, relationship strain, trauma, and other stressful life changes.

    She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Danielle combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, narrative work, and Motivational Interviewing to match what each person needs. The goal is to identify specific steps a person can try between sessions.

    Her background includes work with people coming out of incarceration, those on probation or parole, and individuals who have experienced long-term homelessness. That experience informs how she helps people reenter community life, manage parenting transitions, and cope with lasting effects of trauma and loss.

    Danielle treats a wide range of concerns, including addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, grief, eating struggles, anger, and relationship and family problems. She also focuses on issues like attachment, codependency, impulsivity, personality-related difficulties, and recovery from sexual assault.

    In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life and offers guidance to support change. People can expect clear goals, practical coping skills, and collaborative planning to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

  2. How Danielle’s Approaches Translate to Online Support

    Danielle integrates Motivational Interviewing and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered work to tailor support to each person. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and on building small, doable steps toward goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop different ways of connecting and coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration so the person leads the pace and focus of sessions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danielle will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods that match those needs. The plan is revisited as progress takes shape so methods can change when needed.

    The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, make shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid travel time. Online work can also help keep momentum between in-person visits and make scheduling more flexible while exploring what methods and rhythms help most.
