About Danielle

Danielle Van Dusen is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in New Hampshire who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She emphasizes the role of healthy behaviors and relationships in overall wellbeing and helps parents and individuals sort through what feels out of balance in daily life.

Danielle writes plainly and works to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to day-to-day parenting concerns. She draws from client-centered therapy to meet people where they are and from cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotional regulation or stress management are central concerns. Danielle adapts her approach to the needs and preferences of each person she sees. Her practice covers a wide range of challenges, including addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, parenting stress, and relationship strain.

She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, body image, and the complexities of adoption and foster care or attachment issues. Her work includes attention to first responder stress, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring concerns like substance use. Danielle has twelve years of experience across outpatient, in-home, and residential settings.

She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and uses her background to offer straightforward tools and coping strategies. Many sessions focus on skills that can be practiced between meetings to ease parenting demands and daily stress. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.

Danielle aims to help people identify small, workable steps forward and to build more stable routines and relationships.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals and experiences. It helps parents feel heard and creates a foundation for practical change by honoring their priorities and pacing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and routines that keep problems going and offers straightforward strategies to shift thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep, or stress related to parenting.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling crises in small steps. When strong feelings or impulsive responses show up at home, DBT skills can help a parent respond differently and test new ways of interacting. Danielle will work collaboratively to pick approaches that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy caregivers. Video calls make it easy to have a longer conversation and read nonverbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These options are intended to help therapy fit into real life and to make regular contact more convenient for people managing parenting responsibilities.
