About Danielle
Danielle Whiteside is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma, parenting questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and the stresses of life change. Danielle also focuses on blended family issues, attachment concerns, and adoption and foster care experiences.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions often include improving communication, setting concrete goals, and learning practical coping skills. Danielle draws on Client-Centered methods to follow what matters most to each person and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that feed distress.
For people carrying relational wounds, she incorporates elements of EMDR to process traumatic memories and the Gottman Method to work on communication and connection. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity during stressful moments. Her approach mixes these tools to fit the problem at hand rather than sticking to one method.
Danielle helps clients name what they want to change, test small shifts, and track results between sessions. She explains steps clearly and suggests short exercises to practice in real life. The focus is on steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and doing work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's goals. The therapist creates space for a person to state what matters and then adjusts the pace and focus accordingly. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions; it can be helpful for people with trauma histories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work, school, or caregiving schedules. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for sessions without video when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and practice assignments so therapy fits into everyday life.
