About Danielle

Danielle Wade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, problems with self-esteem, and feelings of guilt and shame.

She often focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Danielle pays attention to attachment concerns, control and avoidance patterns, and how ADHD can affect anxiety, self-worth, and everyday functioning. She also helps people dealing with career decisions, life changes, or feelings of isolation.

In sessions she uses practical, evidence-based approaches. Danielle draws from client-centered methods to listen closely, and she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking. She also brings dialectical behavior skills and solution-focused tools to teach coping skills and short-term problem-solving.

Her style is collaborative. She helps clients notice patterns, practice new ways of communicating, and try small behavioral changes between sessions. Conversations include concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving boundaries, and addressing persistent guilt or shame.

Danielle works in Virginia and conducts therapy in English. She uses a subscription-based model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How Danielle applies evidence-based approaches online

Danielle frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or guilt. It often includes homework such as tracking thoughts and testing alternative beliefs. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage intense feelings and improve communication.

She also relies on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and clarifying a client's goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Danielle will work with each person to decide which combination of strategies best fits their needs and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as goals evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Danielle integrates practical skill-building and brief exercises that translate into everyday routines, so remote sessions can support real-world changes without promising a particular outcome.
