About Danelle

Danelle Kiziah is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with three years of experience. She works with adults and young adults, including LGBTQ+ people, who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and straightforward conversation. She helps people name persistent patterns, manage intense feelings, and practice clearer communication. Clients can expect goal-focused work that includes looking at thoughts, behaviors, and relationship dynamics that get in the way of everyday functioning.

Danelle pays particular attention to grief and trauma reactions and to mood concerns like panic, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood shifts. She also supports people working through obsessive or compulsive behaviors and the shame that follows sexual assault or other harms. Her work often includes building self-regard and practicing ways to respond differently when impulsivity or guilt appears.

She frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving. That can mean learning coping strategies for anxiety, developing stronger boundaries, or clarifying values related to career, relationships, or life purpose. She aims to help clients take practical steps toward more consistent functioning and clearer decision-making.

How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions

Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on unhelpful thoughts and observable behaviors. Cognitive approaches help people identify and rework thought patterns that increase anxiety or lower self-esteem. This approach is practical and often involves homework like thought records or behavior experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Behavioral and skills-based strategies are also commonly used to manage symptoms. These methods teach concrete coping tools for panic, mood shifts, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges. They may include paced breathing, activity planning, or step-by-step exposure tasks for obsessive or avoidance behaviors.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting methods over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a workday or caregiving routine. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or avoid the need to travel, which helps some people keep therapy consistent.
