About Danillie

Danillie Francis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Missouri with seven years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family tensions, and anger. She also supports people facing depression, sleep and eating problems, issues with intimacy, and life changes such as pregnancy, postpartum, and midlife shifts.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anger, anxiety, or low mood. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice their reactions and calm intense emotions.

Danillie also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to look at competing parts inside someone that can drive impulsivity, guilt, or shame. She integrates these methods when they fit the person's goals and situation. Sessions aim to improve communication, reduce impulsive reactions, and build clearer coping strategies for stress and frustration.

She works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, substance issues, compassion fatigue, and parenting strain. Additional focuses include blended family problems, DMDD, self-harm, and forgiveness work. The tone in sessions is practical and person-focused, with emphasis on small, workable changes.

To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. Online sessions let the therapist center the conversation on what matters now and adjust the pace to the person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments. In remote sessions this can include shared homework, tracking thoughts between meetings, and reviewing changes together.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick from practical tools such as CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or Internal Family Systems ideas to reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care when life changes occur, while the therapist and client work on real-world strategies for managing anger and stress.
