Danielle Missler, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Danielle!

I work individually with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship issues. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, and Attachment-Based therapy to help you navigate current challenges and build a more fulfilling life.

My focus

I work with adults dealing with the challenges of daily life and major life transitions. This may show up as anxiety, overwhelm, stress, perfectionism, and burnout. Together, we'll develop skills to reduce stress and create new patterns that support a life of more joy and ease.

My approach

My approach is customized to your unique needs. I often combine CBT, Family Systems, and Attachment-Based therapy to address current concerns while building awareness about how patterns from the past may be impacting you in the present.

My communication style

My communication style is relaxed and non-judgmental. I view therapy as a collaborative process and provide the space and time needed for you to feel heard and understood. I share my insights while recognizing that you are the expert on your own life and welcome your feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in a multicultural and multiracial family, I developed an awareness of how our experiences and environments shape us in unique ways. This gave me curiosity about the human experience and how to support people in ways that meet their specific needs.

My goals for you

My approach to setting goals is based on your needs and preferences. You may have clear goals at the beginning, or it might take time to identify what you want to accomplish. Once goals are identified, I help you break them down into specific and manageable steps.

Our first session

In the first session, you can expect to spend most of the time talking about what brought you into therapy. I'll ask questions about your current situation and history to give context to your circumstances and inform the direction of our work together.
