About Danyelle
Danyelle "Dany" Wilson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and coaching. Dany uses practical, person-focused conversation to help people take the first steps toward feeling more settled and able to cope.
She adapts each session to the person in front of her. That might mean building skills to manage anxiety, working through traumatic memories, or partnering on goals for professional growth.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and grounded, with an emphasis on what someone can try between sessions. Dany draws on attachment-based work to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current stress. She also uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person she is talking with.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when the focus turns to changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Her practice includes support for issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of emptiness. She also addresses concerns like dissociation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, hoarding, and end-of-life counseling for people and their caregivers.
Dany approaches therapy with respect and sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and preferences. She encourages steady progress through small, practical steps.
How Dany's approaches translate to online therapy
Dany uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns affect current stress and connection. This approach helps people notice recurring interaction styles and try different responses in day-to-day life, which can reduce anxiety and improve relationship satisfaction.She also relies on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, addressing control issues, and building concrete coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then recommend methods that match your needs. Together you can adjust the focus over time based on what is helping and what feels workable for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and messaging offer quick check-ins, brief skills practice, and flexible contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
