Pre-Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, NC

About Danielle

Danielle is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate who provides in-person therapy services at Balanced Wellness’ Wilmington, North Carolina office, as well as virtual appointments across the state of North Carolina. She offers a calm, compassionate, and relational approach to therapy, creating a space where clients feel accepted, understood, and supported in exploring their inner experiences.
Danielle believes that meaningful healing begins when individuals feel safe enough to express emotions that have long been held inside and to understand how past experiences continue to shape present patterns.

Ideal Client

Danielle enjoys working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, fear of vulnerability, and related emotional concerns. Her ideal clients are often seeking deeper self-understanding and want to explore how their past has influenced their emotional world, relationships, and sense of self.

She works collaboratively with clients who may feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to express their feelings. Some may fear that opening up emotionally will make things worse or feel hesitant to acknowledge how their symptoms present themselves. Danielle works best with clients who are open to gentle exploration and interested in developing greater emotional safety and authenticity.

Therapeutic Approach

Danielle offers a calm, accepting therapeutic presence and uses gentle, attuned questioning to help clients safely explore their emotions and experiences. Her approach allows clients to release what they have been carrying while gaining insight into how past experiences continue to shape their thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

She most often utilizes a combination of psychodynamic therapy, person-centered therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). When appropriate, Danielle also incorporates Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to support clients in processing and healing from traumatic experiences. Treatment is tailored to each client’s needs, pace, and goals.
