Danielle Washington, LCPC

Danielle Washington is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who brings 11 years of clinical experience to a broad range of mental health concerns. She blends evidence-based techniques with a strength-based perspective to help people manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship or family difficulties. Danielle focuses on practical coping skills and goal-oriented work, partnering with clients who are ready to prioritize their well-being and pursue meaningful change.

Her approach includes clinically proven therapies and, when requested by the client, faith-informed support that integrates biblical perspectives and prayer alongside therapeutic interventions. Danielle describes her role as a collaborator - helping clients identify inconsistent patterns, build coping capacity, and set realistic, timely goals that align with personal values and life circumstances. She tailors treatment plans to each person rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions.

Danielle earned a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Argosy University Chicago in 2012 and holds the LCPC credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Her Illinois license number is 180013083. She works with individuals facing stress, grief, life transitions, career concerns, parenting and adoption or foster care issues, process and substance-related addictions, and other areas where emotional support and skills-based interventions can lead to improved functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Danielle draws on several established approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and practice mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard to create a supportive environment where clients explore feelings, increase self-understanding, and build confidence in their own problem-solving abilities.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Danielle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as needs evolve and invites clients to participate actively in planning their care.

Online therapy with Danielle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life changes, and stay connected with a therapist from different locations while maintaining a steady course of treatment.
