About Danella
Danella Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who draws on narrative ideas to help people make sense of hard life events. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and grief. Danella describes therapy as a collaborative process that centers each person's story and goals.
She earned a master's in Rehabilitation Counseling and Disability Studies and has five years of clinical experience. That background informs practical work on coping skills, mood concerns, and changes that come with aging or caregiving roles.
Background and approach
Danella uses plain talk and short, focused sessions to help clients reorder confusing or painful experiences. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Conversations often include small experiments between sessions so progress can be measured.
Common topics include parenting strain, family communication, anger, self-esteem, and adjusting after loss. She also supports people facing identity questions, dissociation, eating-related struggles, and mood disorders such as bipolar illness. Therapy is shaped around what each person needs.
Danella aims to listen first, then create a clear, manageable plan. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

How narrative and evidence-based practices work online
Narrative work helps people tell and retell their life stories so problems feel clearer and more manageable. It focuses on the meanings people give to events and looks for alternate storylines that open up new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people move toward values-based actions even when emotions are painful. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes warm, nonjudgmental listening. The therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what is heard so the person can discover answers that fit them. Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will invite conversation about what methods feel useful and adjust plans based on a client's goals, values, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor interventions over time. Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy people. Video calls let therapists read facial cues and body language while still being convenient. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a brief check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share short updates or get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules and to try different formats to see what helps most.Common questions about this listing
