About Daniella
Daniella Fernandez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Washington with 13 years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
She uses approaches that focus on emotions and relationships. Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients talk through what matters to them, notice patterns, and try new ways of relating. Daniella respects client choices and treats people as the experts on their own experience.
Her methods draw from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral tools. That mix means she pays attention to how emotions shape behavior and how beliefs and thoughts influence mood. She guides people to name hard emotions and to change unhelpful patterns one step at a time.
Daniella has worked with individuals, couples, and families across a variety of concerns. In sessions she offers clear reflections, focused questions, and exercises you can try between meetings. The aim is to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve how people relate to themselves and others.
People who come to her often want help with panic attacks, mood swings, problems saying no, or making sense of guilt and shame. She also supports those working on forgiveness, self-love, finding life purpose, and recovery from substance problems. The work moves at a steady, practical pace and centers on what you want to change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Daniella uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal patterns. EFT focuses on recognizing emotional responses and changing interaction patterns that keep problems active, which can help with relationship distress and attachment wounds.She also draws on attachment-based therapy, which looks at how early and current attachment experiences affect trust, closeness, and coping. That work helps people notice repeated relationship responses and try safer ways of reaching out. Client-centered therapy is part of her approach too and emphasizes listening, respect for the client's perspective, and following what matters most to the person in front of her.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Daniella will work with clients to identify goals and pick methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in about progress and adjusts methods as the work evolves.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that virtual sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a busy day or sessions that avoid travel time. Talk with her about practical arrangements and the session length that works best for your schedule.
