About Danielle

Danielle Washington is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She welcomes clients who are ready to commit to growth and are willing to prioritize their own wellbeing as they pursue practical, achievable change. Her work emphasizes clients' strengths rather than quick fixes, and she partners with people to set clear goals and build skills that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

With 11 years of clinical experience, Danielle blends evidence-based therapies with options for faith-informed support when clients request it. She draws on approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive and behavioral strategies to tailor treatment plans that feel relevant and realistic.

Danielle also addresses concerns including addiction and process-related behaviors, family and communication problems, fertility and adoption issues, panic and post-traumatic stress, and struggles with purpose, isolation, or financial stress. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and an Illinois LCPC license (IL LCPC 180013083).

Danielle aims to create a collaborative space where practical skill-building and clients' values guide progress toward healthier coping and clearer direction.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online



Danielle uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients notice and relate to different parts of themselves with curiosity and compassion; this approach is often helpful for people working through trauma, internal conflict, or strong emotional reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, which supports coping with anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspectives and goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. She encourages active client participation in shaping the steps and skills emphasized in sessions so the work feels meaningful and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain consistent support while balancing work, family, and other obligations, and allow therapists to use behavioral exercises, values-based work, and parts-focused exploration in ways that suit each client.
