Danielle Whalen, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Danielle!

I work with college students and adults specializing in Anxiety, Stress, ADHD, and Bariatrics.

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 the challenges of surgery and approach to health.

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 work together to create their path forward.

My communication style

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to 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 judgment.

Our first session

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.
