Getting to know Danielle Stefan

Hi there, I'm Danielle! Greetings, my name is Danielle Stefan, but I like to go by Dani. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Virginia. I have been a private practice therapist for over 3 years. Prior to that, I worked in the medical field of social work. I have a passion to serve veterans, geriatrics, adolescents, and anyone motivated for change and healing. My approach I utilize a person-centered approach with each client and in each session. Based on the individual's needs and agreed-upon therapeutic intervention, I approach each session. I often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, grief therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused talk therapy. At the end of each session, I summarize the interventions to the client and gauge their response to assign homework or an accountability assignment for the client will work towards, and we will discuss at the next meeting. My focus I am comfortable with meeting individuals motivated for change. When therapy is conducted honestly, with integrity, and with professionalism, the therapeutic approach is most client-focused. It is crucial for a client to be engaged in therapy, have coping skills, goals, and a support system. When these factors are not present, the therapeutic approaches are focused on encouraging the client to overcome these challenges. A client needs to understand their treatment plan and be an active participant in therapy for any healing. My communication style I appreciate a calm demeanor. When building a rapport, I enjoy utilizing humor and validation to communicate in an empathetic manner. I always attempt to read the client and mirror their comfort level until a therapeutic bond is established. My journey to mental healthcare I have always served. I grew up in 12-step recovery, and I know that people can change and heal. I have seen people grow and heal, and redeem themselves. Individuals are full of inner strength and beauty, but people forget this
