About Daniela
Daniela Izatt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions and related concerns such as guilt and shame, communication problems, isolation or loneliness, questions about life purpose, forgiveness, and building self-love.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear conversation. She draws on approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors, and relationships to help people untangle shame or guilt and the patterns that keep those feelings active. She uses a mix of therapy ideas to guide the work rather than relying on one single method.
Daniela’s background includes work in school-based mental health, substance use treatment, and crisis intervention. She has experience supporting veterans and active-duty service members through behavioral health needs and transitions. That variety of settings shaped how she breaks down problems into manageable steps.
Her approach often brings attention to how past experiences, identity, and faith or culture can affect present feelings. Conversations may include looking at relationships, communication habits, and ways of responding to stressful moments. The goal in sessions is clear: notice what keeps guilt or shame alive and try small, practical changes.
People who want straightforward, conversational therapy that addresses addictions, shame, and relationship strains may find this approach fitting. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the Utah LCSW credentialing standards.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Daniela draws on several evidence-based techniques to address guilt, shame, and addictions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action, and it focuses on small steps that align with personal values. Narrative ideas involve examining the stories people tell about themselves and trying out alternative, less damaging stories that reduce shame.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and test what fits the client's goals and preferences, adapting the mix of techniques over time rather than sticking to one method from the start.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offering ways to do deeper work without rearranging a whole day. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients keep momentum while they work on guilt, shame, and recovery-related goals.
