I’m Danica, and I’m so excited to connect with you!

As a passionate registered mental health counseling intern and certified rehabilitation counselor, I am dedicated to fostering genuine, non-judgmental therapeutic relationships. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, empowering clients to tap into their strengths and utilize community resources to overcome challenges. I bring my authentic self to every session, cultivating trust and creating a safe space for growth and healing.

I believe in tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs of each client. My practice integrates evidence-based approaches, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Social Skills Training, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused methods. This personalized strategy ensures that every session aligns with my clients’ values, preferences, and goals.

I have a special passion for working with individuals managing developmental disorders, conduct disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also provide sports-focused mental health counseling aimed to build confidence, resilience, and the skills necessary to thrive in high-performance environments. 

I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Florida Atlantic University. Additionally, I’ve completed coursework in American Sign Language (ASL) levels 1 and 2 and am actively working toward fluency. My goal is to provide inclusive counseling services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.

To anyone silently struggling, I want to share this: You don’t have to carry that burden alone. There’s no need to struggle in silence. Speak up, reach out, and allow yourself the opportunity to receive the help and support you deserve. A fulfilling and meaningful life is within reach, and it starts with opening up to someone who genuinely cares. 

Let’s take that step forward together.
