About Danella
Danella Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. She uses practical talk and guided techniques to help clients work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning. Her style is collaborative and respectful, aimed at making therapy feel approachable and manageable.
With five years of professional experience, she draws on a mix of approaches to suit different situations.
Background and approach
Danella combines acceptance and commitment ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools. That blend helps people facing grief, trauma, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, and other challenges. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then helps people test new ways of responding.
Sessions often include gentle mindfulness exercises, values clarification, and practical strategies to reduce symptoms or improve communication. The work is paced to each person’s needs and life demands. Danella also supports those coping with more specific concerns such as abandonment issues, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, and mood disorders.
She aims to create a calm space where people can name what’s hard and take small, achievable steps forward. People meet her in Oklahoma and she offers several online formats. Conversations are shaped around each person’s goals, whether that means short-term coping skills or longer work on meaning, identity, and relationships.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting focus from fighting feelings to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that feed distress. It often helps with anxiety, mood issues, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danella will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. She uses a collaborative process with room for changes if something isn’t working, so clients help shape the plan as they go.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep face-to-face interaction without travel. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing support when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using ACT, CBT, or client-centered listening in ways that match each person’s needs.
