About Danielle
Danielle Sanchez is a California LMFT with six years of clinical experience. She trained at Antioch University, earning a Master’s in Clinical Psychology in 2018, and has worked extensively in outpatient mental health settings. Her practice addresses anger along with addictions, relationship and family concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma and related issues.
She has experience supporting people with complex histories, including addiction, mood disorders, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse. That work has included helping people manage impulsivity, codependency, and problems tied to attachment and abandonment. Danielle also lists grief, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and process addictions among the areas she addresses.
Danielle uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral therapy to reframe thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to help with regulation. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also appear in her toolkit when shifting habits or making life changes.
In sessions she aims to improve everyday functioning and decision-making. She frames clients as the experts in their lives and supports practical steps toward managing anger, reducing reactivity, and repairing strained relationships. Sessions focus on concrete strategies, skill practice, and short-term goals when useful.
Her background includes work with people who have faced incarceration, homelessness, and reentry challenges. Danielle practices in California and offers therapy in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.
How sessions work
Approaches to anger and how online sessions work
Danielle uses client-centered therapy to focus on what matters most to each person. That approach means the therapist listens closely and helps people set their own goals. It is useful when someone wants to talk through relationship strain or parenting stress and decide next steps.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers concrete skills for noticing triggers, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing different responses to anger or impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client evaluate what helps most based on the client’s goals, life context, and preferences. That collaborative process can shift methods over time as needs change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. Licensed professionals often use a mix of techniques across sessions to address anger, stress, and related concerns while helping clients build practical skills that fit everyday life.
