Danielle Stivers

Danielle Stivers is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. She supports people working through depression, low self-esteem, life changes, and addiction. Danielle aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental presence during difficult conversations.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between meetings. She listens closely to what matters most and helps build small routines that reduce overwhelm. Her background in nutrition and fitness informs how she talks about energy, sleep, and movement as part of daily coping.

Danielle uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s goals and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thought patterns that worsen stress. Solution-focused work helps set short-term goals so progress can be felt quickly.

She blends listening with targeted strategies rather than long lectures. Many clients find the combination of talk therapy plus lifestyle coaching helpful for improving confidence and mood. Danielle describes powerlifting and coaching as part of her own routine, which she sometimes uses to normalize starting small and building consistency.

Sessions are delivered from her Maryland practice and conducted in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s concerns first and focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through anger, grief, or life transitions without feeling judged.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It teaches simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try different actions that lower anxiety or anger in everyday moments.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps toward a clear goal. This approach is useful when someone wants quick ways to reduce stress or regain a sense of control.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and what feels doable. Decisions about techniques are revisited as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a brief check-in during a work break, or choosing meetings that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively when sessions are arranged to match a person's schedule and preferences.
