About Danielle

Danielle (Dani) Spolarich is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are carrying heavy emotional burdens. Dani offers straightforward, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and parenting pressures.

She listens for what matters most and helps people name the next small steps. Sessions aim to be direct and goal-oriented while still honoring each person's pace.

Background and approach

Dani draws on techniques that address thinking patterns, motivation, and past trauma to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase daily coping. Clients often bring worries about relationships, work stress, sleep trouble, self-esteem, or balancing caregiving and illness. Dani frames these issues in plain terms and works with each person to set realistic, usable goals.

She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT concerns and those managing bipolar symptoms or ADHD. Her background includes many years working with adults facing chronic health challenges and compassion fatigue. She helps people rebuild routines, manage anger, and set boundaries when life changes feel out of control.

Counseling conversations cover communication skills, problem-solving, and ways to handle setbacks. Dani uses a mix of approaches suited to the client's needs, including cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused techniques. Her style is collaborative and practical.

Clients leave with specific strategies to try between sessions and clear ways to measure progress.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches for online parenting support

Danielle commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that worsen stress and mood. CBT is useful for problems like anxiety, sleep disruption, and low mood because it breaks issues into concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings and find their own reasons to change. That approach is especially helpful for addressing addictions, shifting longtime habits, or building momentum when motivation is low.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time. This means treatment is flexible and focused on what actually helps the client meet their daily responsibilities, including parenting demands.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy adults. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face interaction without travel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to add brief check-ins, share coping tools, and get support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a hectic schedule and keep momentum when life gets busy.
