About Danyale
Danyale Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 11 years of experience who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach that helps people feel heard and understood. Many clients come for help with relationships, self-esteem, life changes, and coping skills.
She earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Saint Joseph and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College, City University of New York.
Background and approach
Those academic steps led her into a career working with people facing mood disorders, addiction, trauma, and life stressors. She also has experience counseling adults with developmental disabilities. In session she focuses on practical tools.
She listens first, then helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns. Together she and the client build steps to change behavior and manage strong emotions. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s concerns and goals.
She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits but feel unsure how to begin. Danyale aims to make therapy approachable and useful for everyday life.
She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small wins. Her style is supportive and straightforward so people can start seeing differences in how they handle stress and parenting challenges.

Approaches that fit online counseling
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's goals to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and figure out priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions may include simple exercises and steps to practice between meetings.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change. It works well when someone feels stuck about changing habits or addressing addiction. The therapist guides gentle questioning to build internal motivation and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will talk through goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process helps match techniques to each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and rhythms. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain steady progress.
