About Danielle
Danielle Johnston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 24 years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach mixes cognitive and relational methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect reactions like anger or withdrawal.
Danielle also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping. Those techniques are used for managing intense moments, building distress tolerance, and improving communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles are woven in to help people clarify values and take actions that matter to them.
In sessions she is interactive and coach-like, offering concrete exercises to practice between meetings. Conversations include identifying physiological reactions, labeling emotions, and rehearsing different responses to common triggers. The goal is to replace repeated reactive behavior with clearer, intentional choices.
People who reach out are invited to set practical goals. Danielle frames work as step-by-step skill building. She asks clients to try small tasks and review results together, adjusting plans as needed. This keeps progress measurable and focused on everyday improvements.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them. Online ACT sessions can help people notice what matters, accept difficult feelings, and choose actions that align with goals like calmer relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In an online session CBT can teach specific exercises for noticing thought patterns, testing beliefs, and practicing different responses to triggers such as workplace stress or arguments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest which strategies to try first. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan as skills develop and needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or family routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also support practicing skills in the settings where anger and stress typically arise, so real-life patterns can be discussed and refined during ordinary days.
