About Danielle
Danielle Fera is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family stress, and mood challenges including bipolar disorder. Danielle also helps with grief, eating concerns, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and related issues.
She uses a practical, goal-focused style. Sessions center on what the client wants to accomplish. Danielle helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tests new ways of responding in day-to-day life. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where useful, alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness techniques.
For clients who have survived traumatic events, she incorporates trauma-focused approaches and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when clinically appropriate. That work emphasizes processing difficult memories and reducing their hold on current functioning.
Danielle treats the whole context of someone’s life - work, relationships, and parenting demands. She helps set clear steps, practices, and short-term goals so progress can be measured. Conversations are straightforward and focused on skills people can use between sessions.
She practices in Missouri as an LPC. Sessions follow a goal plan agreed with each person and adjust as goals change. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to identify priorities and next steps.
How CBT, EMDR, and client-centered work translate online
Danielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practice specific skills to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and day-to-day coping skills.She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and building a clear set of goals agreed with the client. That approach helps keep sessions focused on what the person wants to achieve. For clients with traumatic memories she may use trauma-focused techniques and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to work on how those memories affect current functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Danielle discusses goals, symptoms, and preferences in the first sessions and then recommends which methods to try. The plan is revisited and adjusted as progress is made, so the client helps decide the best path.
