Danielle Restieaux-Louis, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Danielle!

Warm, trauma-informed LCSW working with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space and tailor therapy to you—helping you build insight, heal, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My focus

I work with individual adults, couples, and families, including LGBTQ+ clients, with a growing focus on men and older adults. I help clients navigate life transitions, grief, and trauma, offering a warm, steady space to process, gain insight, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

My approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I integrate CBT, attachment-based, relational, and trauma-informed care to support insight, healing, and lasting change. I balance empathy with gentle challenge and help you apply what we do in session to your daily life.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I listen deeply, reflect patterns, and offer clear, thoughtful feedback. I balance empathy with gentle challenge, creating a safe space where you feel heard while also supported in making meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after experiencing the life-changing impact of therapy myself. After over 20 years as an attorney and family mediator, I felt called to help people more personally—supporting healing, growth, and meaningful change in their daily lives.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by combining insight with action. Together we identify patterns, set clear goals, and apply practical tools between sessions—such as journaling, mindfulness, and behavioral shifts—to create meaningful, lasting change.

Our first session

Our first session is warm, collaborative, and structured. I’ll get to know your history, current challenges, relationships, and goals. We’ll identify patterns and begin clarifying what meaningful change looks like for you, so we can create a clear, personalized path forward.
