Danielle Stivers, LCPC

Danielle Stivers is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 12 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and trauma and abuse. She works with clients on coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, anger, parenting stress, and career questions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on what someone can do between sessions to feel steadier.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and make small, manageable changes. Danielle uses client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused steps to set reachable goals. Sessions emphasize clear skills and short-term plans when that fits the person’s needs.

Danielle also brings a background in nutrition and fitness to her clinical work. She is a nutrition coach and personal trainer outside of therapy, and often discusses how activity, eating habits, and routines affect mood and confidence. This can help people who want combined attention to physical habits and emotional health.

She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. Small changes in behavior and thinking are used to build confidence and reduce symptoms over time. The work tends to be collaborative and focused on practical steps.

Danielle is licensed in Maryland as an LCPC. People who prefer sessions that connect mental health with lifestyle changes may find her style fits well.

How Danielle’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy puts your priorities first and lets the conversation follow what matters most to you. The therapist listens carefully and adapts sessions to match your pace and goals, which can help when facing trauma, relationship stress, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. It uses clear exercises and homework to try out new ways of thinking and behaving, which many people find helpful for stress, depression, and anxiety.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps that move you toward the life you want. It highlights existing strengths and sets achievable goals so progress can be noticed quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the balance of listening, skills practice, and goal-setting as the relationship develops.
