About Danielle
Danielle Whiteside is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage relationship struggles, trauma, parenting stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes plainly, listens carefully, and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Danielle aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can lower their guard and start making steady progress.
With 12 years of experience, Danielle uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioral strategies help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that feel better. Danielle also incorporates EMDR, a method used to address distress linked to past events, when it fits the client’s goals.
She combines this with mindfulness practices to help people build awareness and reduce reactivity in their daily lives. For relationship concerns she uses Gottman-informed techniques to improve communication and problem solving. She often helps people untangle family patterns, attachment questions, and issues tied to adoption or foster care experiences.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools - skills for calmer conversations, managing stress, and making choices that match personal values. Danielle aims to help people leave sessions with something useful to try right away.

How Danielle’s Approaches Work Online
Danielle blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR in ways that fit each person's needs. Client-centered therapy means sessions follow the client’s priorities and pace, focusing on understanding and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. EMDR is used when past experiences cause ongoing distress and the client wants to process those memories to reduce their emotional impact.Finding the best approach is a collaborative effort. Danielle will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She talks through options and works with clients to pick techniques that match their needs and comfort level.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions are useful when video isn’t workable or when lower data use is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skills practice, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress steady.
