About Danielle
Dr. Danielle Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and ADHD. She also supports those dealing with attachment issues, codependency, immigration challenges, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters.
Her style centers on client-centered care that pays attention to the whole person. She listens and reflects so people can name painful emotions and make practical changes. Many clients come for help with substance use, mood and anxiety concerns, relationship conflict, or adjusting to life changes.
Dr. Johnson uses several approaches to guide sessions, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method. She also draws on motivational interviewing strategies when people are working on substance use and harm reduction.
She is pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree and integrates what she is learning into clinical work. Sessions commonly include skills practice, focused reflection on feelings, and conversation about coping strategies that fit everyday life.
People who reach out can expect straightforward, practical conversation about what feels stuck and what small steps might change it. Dr. Johnson helps clients identify emotional patterns, reduce harmful behaviors, and build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and track feelings that drive difficult relationship and attachment patterns. EFT sessions focus on emotional experiences and how those shape interactions and self-understanding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection to help clients find their own answers and increase self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Dr. Johnson will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine EFT, CBT, or client-centered techniques based on what the client needs. Sessions involve practical skills practice, emotional reflection, and plans for small, doable changes between meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, or let someone avoid being on camera when they prefer audio only. Licensed professionals, including this counselor, can adjust pace and format so therapy fits into everyday life while focusing on emotional patterns and coping strategies.
