About Dannielle
Dannielle McLean is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions, rebuild daily routines, and move toward goals they can actually stick with. Her approach is practical and skill-focused, with short exercises and clear steps each session.
She uses evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and find motivation for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices are included when clients need tools to tolerate intense feelings and improve emotional regulation.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on practicing skills that can be used between meetings. Dannielle has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting people through major life challenges and co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. Over her three years as an LCPC she has helped clients build resiliency and reduce stress reactivity through repeated, manageable practice.
Therapy focuses on creating realistic goals, improving coping skills, and strengthening self-compassion. People work on lowering anxiety, managing mood swings, handling cravings or urges, and addressing anger when it gets in the way. Each meeting is intended to leave clients with one or two things to try before the next session.
She encourages steady contact and feedback so motivation and progress stay on track. If someone wants to shift habits and reduce the impact of stress on daily life, she aims to provide structured support and straightforward tools to move forward.

Practical approaches you can use online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into small parts and offers clear exercises to try between sessions, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger triggers.Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to increase motivation for things like reducing substance use or following through on personal goals.
Dannielle uses these approaches together with DBT-informed skills and mindfulness practices when needed. She will work with each person to figure out which combination fits best. That choice is a collaborative process based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and practicing skills with real-time feedback. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers no video. Live chat and text let people check in quickly, share short updates, or have brief coaching between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit regular practice into a busy life and keep steady momentum toward goals.
