Background and approach
She asks what you want to be different, then maps small steps to reach that change. Many people notice helpful shifts within the first few sessions when they start using the tools discussed in therapy. Her focus areas include depression, self-esteem, career and workplace stress, parenting concerns, and ADHD among other issues.
She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, and commitment issues. Danica supports people dealing with guilt, family of origin issues, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Danica combines several evidence-informed methods in session.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing helps people connect to their own goals, and the Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns are the main concern. Sessions are offered remotely in English and structured to fit a busy life.
Danica works with each person to set realistic goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track progress over time.
How Danica Uses Practical Approaches Online
Danica often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks big problems into small, manageable steps. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Danica works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as you try tools and notice what helps. This collaborative process means the approach can shift over time to fit changing needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video sessions let you maintain face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use a camera. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or quick skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
