About Danielle
Danielle Mickla is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with five years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and addictive behaviors. Danielle aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and start to make small changes that matter.
She approaches therapy believing each person knows their own life best. That means sessions focus on strengths and practical steps rather than labels.
Background and approach
Danielle helps people build motivation, improve self-esteem, and cope with loss or trauma through steady, compassionate support. Her practice also addresses specific concerns such as codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, panic attacks, process addictions, and sexual assault and abuse. She offers guidance around smoking or vaping cessation and supports people navigating non-monogamous relationships and hospice or end-of-life issues.
Sessions are tailored to present needs and paced to fit individual readiness for change. Danielle works to make goals clear and achievable, using simple strategies people can try between meetings. Progress is measured by changes that matter in daily life rather than by technical terms.
People meet Danielle for help with coping after loss, managing chronic anxiety, handling compassion fatigue, or reducing reliance on substances and behaviors. She encourages small, steady steps and stays focused on practical outcomes people can notice week to week.
Evidence-based methods and convenient online care
Danielle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and managing anxiety through step-by-step strategies that reduce panic and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed pacing, helping people process difficult experiences at a tolerable speed while restoring a sense of safety and control.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. That collaborative decision is revisited over time to make sure the plan still matches needs and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations that benefit from visual connection. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text sessions are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options let people engage in therapy in ways that fit their rhythm and schedule.
