Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She adapts conversations and plans to fit daily life, not just the therapy room. With 21 years of experience, she draws on a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional pain and life transitions.
She helps clients develop skills to manage impulsivity, navigate family problems, and handle abandonment or young adult challenges. Her work includes supporting women and people in the LGBT community with sensitivity and respect. Dannette describes therapy as ongoing care that continues between sessions.
She pays attention to everyday moments that might help a client - a book, a quote, or a simple exercise - and brings those ideas into treatment when useful. That approach aims to make progress feel practical and relevant. People who choose her can expect tailored conversation, clear goals, and encouragement to try new strategies.
She emphasizes building strengths and resilience so clients can move toward a more fulfilling life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dannette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skill building and practical change. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety, stress, and impulsivity - short exercises and behavioral strategies that can be practiced between sessions to reduce overwhelm. Another common focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, often combining talk with grounding or regulation techniques to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then tailor methods to fit the person. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time to better meet their needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a quick check-in, live chat is useful for short updates or coping exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on real, practical change.
