About Danielle
Danielle Sanchez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma and other mood concerns. Danielle also lists relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and stress among her areas of focus.
She trained at Antioch University and began practicing after completing a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology in 2018. Much of her work has been in outpatient programs serving people with complex life circumstances, including those with histories of incarceration, probation or homelessness. That experience shaped her approach to practical problems and to reintegration challenges like parenting after incarceration.
Danielle uses several therapeutic methods and adapts them to what each person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and client-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals.
Sessions often include straightforward tools and small experiments to try between meetings. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing can be used to support coping and to work on substance use or process addictions. She helps people set clear, achievable steps and evaluates progress along the way.
The emphasis is on practical skills for everyday life. Prospective clients can expect direct conversation about patterns that cause difficulty and options for responding differently. To begin, a short intake questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match people to an initial session.
How Danielle Uses Structured Approaches Online
Danielle integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT sessions typically focus on concrete skills, short experiments to try between meetings, and clear steps to measure progress.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and how early connections affect current responses. Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person’s priorities and supports practical problem solving rather than preset agendas.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Danielle reviews goals and preferences during the first meetings and adjusts methods as needed. She works with clients to pick techniques that fit their daily life and aims to schedule follow-ups that track what helps.

Licensed professionals can use a mix of structured CBT exercises, reflective conversation, and brief mindfulness practices that translate well to a virtual setting.
