Online Therapy That Matches Your Values and Goals

Danielle Larson, LCSW, integrates evidence-based approaches that can be a strong fit for concerns like anxiety, mood challenges, relationship stress, trauma recovery, and life transitions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while also making room for choices guided by personal values. It can be especially useful when stress, shame, or self-criticism keeps someone from living the way they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering practical tools for shifting unhelpful patterns that can show up in anxiety, depression, and everyday coping. Danielle also draws from the Gottman Method to support healthier relationship dynamics by strengthening communication, understanding conflict patterns, and building connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Danielle works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the focus as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy adds flexibility and access. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging to support consistent progress between appointments.
