Danielle Doskocil

Danielle Doskocil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Parents who need support with parenting skills and blended family issues are also within her focus.

Danielle describes her work as client-centered. She tailors each plan to the person in front of her instead of using one fixed method. Sessions combine strength-based support with honest feedback when hard choices are needed to move forward.

She draws on evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative and solution-focused methods. That means using practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building motivation for change, and telling and reframing life stories to find new meaning.

Danielle has long experience helping people with addiction and co-occurring disorders, including process addictions and substance use concerns. She also supports survivors of trauma and people coping with adjustment after major life events. Her approach often includes behavior management coaching for parents and practical steps for daily living.

The first step with Danielle is an informed consent intake, usually done live by video or via messaging when needed. She emphasizes a collaborative start so goals and expectations are clear before ongoing work begins.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your priorities, and shaping sessions around your goals. Online or in-person, this approach helps when you want a counselor who adapts to your pace and preferences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and offers concrete steps to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by practicing new skills between meetings.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way to build motivation for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck about making a life change, such as addressing addiction or improving parenting habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best based on the client’s goals, history, and preferences. That choice can be revisited as work progresses so methods stay useful and practical.

Confirm the session formats Danielle currently offers before booking. Her intake is typically completed live via video and messaging options were mentioned as an alternative. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can align with work, school, and caregiving responsibilities.
