Sessions are active and collaborative, with simple plans to try between meetings. Her work often centers on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and issues tied to career or life transitions. She also supports people navigating intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and parenting stress.

Therapy approaches and how they translate online
Danica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT-informed skills in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable pieces and teaches practical techniques to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and low mood. DBT-informed skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve communication.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Danica will talk through your goals and preferences, try strategies that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you see what helps. She mixes methods when that makes sense and checks in regularly about progress so you’re part of deciding what to keep doing.
Online therapy offers ways to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls work well when visual cues matter, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be good for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people share between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills in real situations and to follow up quickly when challenges come up.
