About

Danielle Nelson

I specialize in working with individuals with diverse counseling needs using an interpersonal, relational, and emotion-focused approach. My goal is to foster a warm, supportive therapeutic relationship based on humor, transparency, and authentic connection to explore challenging or previously unspoken topics with confidence and care. I believe meaningful change stems from healthy relationships, self-awareness, and honest emotional expression.


Therapy provides a space to explore lifelong patterns and how past experiences shape current challenges. By reflecting on these, clients can adapt behaviors to better meet present needs. I am committed to partnering with clients to uncover their strengths and goals, collaboratively building strategies that foster a meaningful, fulfilling life.


My goal is to create a safe, accepting space for clients to grow and explore. Finding the right therapist is essential, so I offer free phone consultations to discuss your therapy goals, share my approach, and determine if we’re a good fit to work together.
