As an LMHC she is trained to provide psychotherapy and clinical support for individuals and families facing a range of concerns.

She treats each person as an individual, taking time to understand their circumstances before applying evidence-based interventions tailored to their goals. Her work blends psychoeducation and psychotherapy so clients can practice skills on their own and continue growth between sessions.

Her therapeutic style is authentic, warm, and empathetic while also active and directive when needed. Danica aims to encourage clients toward greater well-being and personal growth, offering a non-judgmental and inviting space to explore resources and build strategies. She welcomes people who are committed to creating a more fulfilling and meaningful life and looks forward to working with those ready to make changes.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Danica uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful life goals. It is helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional bonds, exploring how early attachments shape current patterns and supporting healthier ways of relating - it can be useful for intimacy, relationship struggles, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is worked out collaboratively. Danica will discuss different methods, consider a client’s goals and preferences, and tailor strategies to fit each person’s needs so therapy feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based techniques to these formats, helping clients practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care despite scheduling or geographic constraints.
