Danielle Stivers, LCPC

Danielle Stivers is an LCPC practicing in Maryland who helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, addictions, and coping with big life changes. She offers support for relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, career stress, bipolar and ADHD symptoms, and other challenges like isolation and communication problems.

She keeps the space in sessions open and nonjudgmental so people can talk honestly about what is on their mind. Danielle listens for practical patterns and helps clients notice small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions focus on realistic steps people can try between meetings alongside conversation about deeper feelings.

Danielle uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress. Her approach blends talking, planning, and simple skill practice so work in therapy links to real routines.

Outside of therapy she works as a nutrition coach and personal trainer and brings that experience into her clinical work when clients want support with exercise, routine, or body-related confidence. She powerlifts and values strength-building as one way to boost mood and self-esteem.

People who reach out can expect a practical, down-to-earth clinician who pairs listening with clear steps. Danielle aims to help clients build small habits that lead to steadier moods and better coping over time.

How these approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive place to sort through feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and trying different behaviors to see what helps. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it provides clear skills to practice between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and what changes would show progress. Sessions tend to be forward-looking and practical, which can be helpful when someone wants quick strategies to manage day-to-day problems.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try methods collaboratively, and adjust based on what the client finds most useful. This is a joint process driven by the client's needs and goals.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps keep momentum between full sessions.
