About Danielle
Danielle Sanchez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship and family difficulties, anger, mood disorders, trauma, and other life stressors. Danielle also helps people dealing with grief, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and issues around self-esteem and coping with change.
She trained at Antioch University and has years working in outpatient mental health settings that included forensic populations. That background means she has spent time supporting people after incarceration, during probation or parole, and through community reentry. She has experience assisting people who became parents after incarceration and helping them adjust to new responsibilities.
Danielle uses several practical methods in her work. She blends client-centered conversations with cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative approaches, and mindfulness practices. Motivational interviewing and attachment-based ideas also shape how she talks through goals and next steps with clients.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, achievable goals. She listens for patterns around relationships, impulsivity, substance use, and anger, then helps people try different tools to reduce conflict and feel more in control. Homework or short exercises may be offered to practice new skills between meetings.
Her approach stresses collaboration. Clients set the priorities and she helps break those goals into manageable steps. People who want straightforward, practical help with anger, addiction, mood, or trauma-related problems are the best fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and how early connections affect reactions now. In sessions this can look like talking through how trust and closeness show up, and practicing different ways of responding when anger or worry comes up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. That helps when someone wants tools for anger, anxiety, or mood shifts by spotting thought patterns and testing new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices for noticing urges, stress, or cravings without acting on them immediately.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time together.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find phone sessions simpler when they do not want to be on camera, while video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues during conversation. Ask about the available formats when you schedule.
