About Danyale
Danyale Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, addiction, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can name what feels hard and take the next steps. Her approach aims to make therapy feel safe and straightforward for anyone who decides to reach out.
She brings 11 years of experience working with people facing depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting adults with developmental disabilities. Sessions center on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady progress rather than jargon or pressure. Danyale trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Saint Joseph and completed a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Brooklyn College, City University of New York.
That education underpins her focus on evidence-based techniques and compassionate engagement. In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and perspective. She adds Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and stay motivated. Her style is direct but warm. She shares tools clients can use between sessions and checks in on what’s working.
The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more control over daily life.
How Danyale’s Methods Work Online
Danyale uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow each person’s lead. That means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and move at a comfortable pace, which works well for emotional concerns and relationship stress.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to find patterns in thinking and behavior that make symptoms worse. CBT offers clear steps and exercises clients can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, or change unhelpful habits.
Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel unsure about change. It helps clarify personal goals and builds the motivation needed to take small, sustained steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process changes over time as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone can be a quick check-in with less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support easier to fit into busy schedules. These options make therapy more flexible and help people keep progress going between sessions.
