Background and approach
Dany focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and coaching for professionals. She uses techniques that help people understand patterns tied to attachment and relationships.
Sessions often feel conversational and focused on practical steps. Danytailors dialog and plans to each person’s situation and priorities.

Her approach addresses emotion, behavior, and everyday challenges in clear terms. Therapy may include skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy to manage anxiety, mood, and overwhelming thoughts.
She also integrates EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate. Dany emphasizes compassionate listening while helping people try new ways of coping.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. Dany helps people break big problems into small, workable actions.
She encourages steady progress and keeps the focus on what matters most to each client.
Using attachment work and CBT in online sessions
Dany draws on attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. That approach helps people notice patterns formed in close relationships and try different ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, or other methods should guide the sessions and can adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer a flexible way to share thoughts between sessions and maintain momentum during busy weeks.
