About Danielle

Danielle Doskocil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing from South Carolina with 24 years of experience. She lists family and parenting among her focus areas and commonly helps adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain, or parenting challenges. She also works with people managing ADHD, depression, trauma, and sleep or anger issues.

Danielle uses a client-centered style. She works with each person to set clear goals and to choose practical steps that fit their life. Sessions are direct but strengths-based, and she will address choices or behaviors that get in the way of improvements.

Her clinical work draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches. That means she blends practical skills, goal-setting, and reworking unhelpful patterns into the conversation. For people facing addiction, she includes techniques geared toward motivation and relapse prevention.

Danielle has experience across a range of settings, from case management to residential treatment. She has worked with adults and teens and has supported parents with behavior management and caregiving stress. She does not position herself for personality disorders, domestic violence, or psychotic disorders on a telemental health platform and will help refer when another provider is a better fit.

Intake typically begins with an informed consent process that can be completed live by video or through messaging. After that, clients schedule their first session or continue with messaging as preferred. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Danielle’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and helps people choose goals that feel meaningful to them, which can be useful for family or parenting stresses and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and anger by changing unhelpful patterns and practicing new behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is often used when addressing substance use, process addictions, or when someone feels stuck about making life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they’ll try methods, track what helps, and adjust between skill work, goal-focused sessions, or longer narrative work.

The original biography references completing intake live by video or through messaging, so confirm current session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Picking a format often comes down to practical matters like quieter surroundings, camera preferences, or how much time is available rather than clinical effectiveness.
