About Danielle
Danielle West is a Pennsylvania LCSW with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Danielle lists life purpose among her focus areas and often helps people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Danielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people identify their own reasons for change and build momentum toward next steps.
Danielle previously worked in a school setting for several years. That experience shaped how she supports emotional regulation and managing strong reactions. She has worked with parents to develop tools and strategies to help children, and she assists young women navigating life transitions when that is requested.
When a client wants to include faith in therapy, Danielle will integrate personal values into the work. Sessions focus on concrete skills - communication, impulse control, and coping strategies - alongside talking through feelings and experiences. She aims to help people clarify what matters to them and try small, manageable changes.
To begin, Danielle asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and session pricing varies by location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Danielle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and difficulty with self-esteem. It usually involves practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Motivational Interviewing centers on helping people find their own reasons to change and building motivation in manageable steps; it can be useful for starting new routines or when someone feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Danielle works collaboratively to figure out which method or mix of methods fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as progress is made and priorities shift.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work during life transitions and while managing unpredictable schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and motivational conversations to remote sessions to focus on concrete steps and coping skills that fit everyday life.
