About Danielle
Danielle Johnston is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, addictions, grief, and family of origin issues. Sessions address practical problems like sleep, eating, anger, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Danielle uses straightforward, skills-oriented sessions. She guides people in recognizing patterns that began in childhood and how those patterns affect current choices and relationships. Conversations focus on small, concrete steps people can practice between sessions to change habitual reactions and improve daily functioning.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and closeness. Dialectical skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
In session she offers coaching-style guidance alongside reflective conversation. Clients set goals and work on brief, achievable tasks between meetings. The aim is to increase self-control over reactions, improve communication, and build steadier routines for sleep, eating, and daily coping.
Danielle also addresses more complex patterns such as abandonment anxieties, codependency, dissociation, blended family concerns, and commitment or control issues. She works with people dealing with co-occurring problems like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and substance use, focusing on practical strategies that fit their life.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building action even when uncomfortable feelings appear. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and trust. Online sessions use conversation and reflective work to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this often includes reviewing real-life situations, experimenting with different responses, and practicing short exercises between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as new concerns appear, and sessions will pair practical skills with discussion about how past family patterns affect present decisions.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can practice skills and return to daily responsibilities more readily.
