My name is Danielle Whalen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Brick, NJ, and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFTt work with clients located in NJ and FL via telehealth. I work with college students and adults specializing in Anxiety, Stress, ADHD, and Bariatrics.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on each client's individual needs. Most frequently I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness modalities to help clients learn more about themselves and working together to create their path forward.
My focus
I have found that my style and approach attract college students and mothers with young children. These clients often are focused on Anxiety, stress, Depression and boundary setting. I also have a passion for Bariatric clients and working through challenges of surgery and approach to health.
My communication style
I enjoy working with all clients who are motivated for change. I work to help my clients navigate stressors and build effective skills to move forward with a more positive self view.
My journey to mental healthcare
Like many other therapists, I have had life experiences that have shown me the importance of therapy, support and creating a team for yourself.
My goals for you
My communication tends to be empathetic, supportive, warm and humorous. It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable discussing whatever they would like to without judgement.
My first session with you
During your first session with me, we will spend the majority of the time discussing your history, what is bringing you to therapy, as well as your goals and expectations.
