Background and approach
With over 21 years of experience she draws on a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She tailors the approach for each client instead of using one fixed method. Her style is warm, respectful, and direct when needed.
Dannette describes therapy as part of everyday life, not only what happens in the session. She looks for books, ideas, and small practices that can be shared and tried between meetings. This helps clients bring change into their routines.
She encourages people to name what they want to change and to take small steps toward those goals. Dannette focuses on building resilience and practical skills so clients can manage stress and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Approaches that guide online work and what to expect
Evidence-based techniques are used to address symptoms and life problems in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and problem-solving strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this involves identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing small behavioral changes to feel more in control. Another approach emphasizes processing difficult experiences like grief or trauma through gradual, supported discussion and skills for emotional regulation so painful memories are less overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, then suggest methods to try. Together they will adjust the plan over time based on what helps the most.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping ideas, or when scheduling needs to be very flexible. All formats let people work with a licensed professional from different locations and fit therapy into their routine.
