About Danielle

Danielle Doskocil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in South Carolina with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, parenting, relationship struggles, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.

Clients can expect a straightforward, client-centered approach. Danielle adapts her work to fit each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. She uses strength-focused conversations and will address practical obstacles that get in the way of goals.

Her work draws on evidence-based methods. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy when they fit the concern. These methods are used to help with behavior change, managing strong emotions, and reworking unhelpful patterns that come from early family experiences.

Danielle has particular experience supporting people with addictions, co-occurring mental health concerns, and parents wanting skills for behavior management. She has worked across settings from case management to residential treatment and with teens and adults in the past two decades.

When starting, she completes an informed consent intake and then plans sessions together with the client. The intake is usually done live by video but can be handled through messaging if needed. She can also assist with referrals if a different level of care is more appropriate.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs a therapist who adapts to their pace and priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some behavior issues. Motivational Interviewing is a short, goal-oriented style of conversation that helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment for steps like reducing substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick or blend methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs evolve.

The biography indicates an informed consent intake is usually completed live via video, with messaging as an alternative for that step, so confirm which session formats are currently available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins when appropriate, and allowing appointments from a wider range of locations. Therapists and licensed professionals will help tailor the session rhythm and methods to fit everyday life and the issues being addressed.
