About Danita
Danita Stapleton is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She communicates directly and respectfully, and she adapts conversation and plans to each person’s situation. Many people find her approach welcoming when they feel unsure about starting therapy.
Danita uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety or anger.
Background and approach
She blends that with client-centered care to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. This makes sessions feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. When emotions run high, she draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach breathing, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation strategies.
Motivational interviewing helps people find the reasons they want change and build momentum toward realistic goals. Solution-focused techniques are used to create short-term plans people can try between sessions. She has supported people through life transitions, workplace stress, caregiver strain, and feelings of isolation or abandonment.
Other areas she helps with include forgiveness work, guilt and shame, impulsivity, finding life purpose, and growing self-love. Danita works with clear, conversational language and prefers to keep plans straightforward. She encourages small, steady steps and checks progress regularly.
If someone wants practical skills and a supportive listener, she offers that blend of structure and warmth.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want from therapy in their own words. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and rewrite unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling anger in healthier ways.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review your goals, try techniques that match your needs, and adjust as you go. Sessions combine listening with skill-building so you can test tools between meetings and report back on what worked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and role-playing skills, while phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins, reminders, or practicing short coping strategies between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use skills in real time where they matter most.
