About Dannette

Dannette Henley, LPC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She works with issues related to trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD, and LGBT or family concerns. Her approach aims to build a trusting connection so people feel supported while making changes.

She focuses on a practical, person-centered style. Sessions center on clear goals and steps clients can use between meetings. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs, and emphasizes strengths and resilience as part of recovery.

With 21 years of experience, she draws on long practice helping people manage life transitions, compassion fatigue, and impulsivity. She pays attention to everyday moments that might help a client - books, quotes, or simple strategies that can be applied outside of sessions.

Many clients come for help sorting family problems, parenting strain, or feelings of abandonment. She also supports people navigating young adult issues and women’s concerns, tailoring work to the client’s priorities and pace.

Her work is steady and encouraging. She invites people to take small steps and acknowledges how brave seeking help can feel. The aim is practical change: clearer choices, better coping, and stronger day-to-day resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dannette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building a strong working relationship and creating practical steps people can use in daily life. One common strand is a goal-oriented approach that breaks larger problems into manageable tasks and skills for coping with anger, anxiety, or stress. This helps people try small changes and see what works for them.

Another key element is a strengths-based approach that identifies what already helps a person and expands those resources. That can include skills for emotion regulation, managing impulsivity, and building resilience after trauma or loss.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life situation. Together they will adjust plans as progress is made and new needs emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain momentum between appointments and allow flexible timing around work or family commitments.
