Only two sessions in so far, but I feel like Dani has already given me a better perspective on the issues I've been having. She really listens and allows me to realize things I didn't realize were problems. I'm excited to see where I'll be after a few more sessions!

Hi there! I'm Dani and I am so glad you found me. Are you struggling with the changes you are experiencing during your pregnancy? Have you had a baby and are now struggling with Postpartum Depression and/or Anxiety and/or OCD? Do you have a history or are currently struggling with disordered eating and/or body image issues? I can help. There is hope, you are not alone, and with the right support and therapy, you can start to feel more like yourself. I love what I do, and that is helping women and mothers find their way back to their authentic selves.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Danielle has been very helpful and understanding of my situation. As well has given me the tools and support that I was looking for to heal myself. All around she has been a 10 out of 10 as a therapist
Therapist doing a good job, having trouble connecting, due to internet or issues with the system
We are going back and forth with emails. I have had no sessions because I had asked for a clinical psychologist from the very first time I interacted with your webpagekindly ask you give the opportunity to have my sessions with a clinical psychologist. That way I know you actually look at the information send to you and do not depend only on an AI alorigth. Thanks
Just as before, shes wonderful. Its just the beginning, but I feel this woman will help me get back on the right track. Its nice to have someone I can just share any and all thoughts with - where as people in my life I have to put a mask on because I worry about what they think about me. With Danielle, I can tell her anything. Her responses and views make me think. I like her approach too, going through my life and breaking me into parts.
Danielle is an awesome therapist! Over 7 sessions we were able to touch upon each of the goals that I had brought to her in the beginning of our journey. She made me feel comfortable, encouraged me to express myself in healthy ways, and taught me about anxiety management in ways that will guide me for life. She is very kind and attentive, and she truly cares about her client. Even while we were working through some of my hardest traumas, I felt supported and knew that the end, everything was going to be okay.
