Welcome to Best Life. I am happy you're here! I have worked as a therapist for ten years, addressing impulse control and mental health issues, after graduating from Wright State with my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am EMDR trained and proficient in various therapeutic modalities and interventions.

Therapeutic Intervention Competencies

An individualized treatment plan is critical for maximum therapeutic benefit. Providing such individualization, however, requires thorough proficiency in various interventions and theoretical approaches. The following is a detailed, although not exhaustive, list of interventions I am qualified and experienced in providing with positive results: 

• EMDR
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Reality Therapy
• Mindfulness
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing
• Trauma-Informed
• Humanistic
• Person-Centered
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Social Learning

Danielle Northcutt, MSW, LSW, has several years of experience helping others heal in various mental health settings. She has worked with children and their parents in hospitals, schools, non-profit institutions, and foster care organizations.

Her mental health focus has been postpartum depression, depression, anxiety, and poor self-esteem. She thrives on helping others manage and develop coping strategies, self-esteem, and self-confidence, reduce stress, and build resilience. She uses a strength-based and cognitive restructuring approach. 

Educational Background

Danielle has a Master's of Social Work from Ohio State University, a Bachelor's of Organizational Leadership, and an Associate's of Education from Miami University. She has trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Experience

Danielle has been helping others with their mental health for five years. She has worked with foster youth to help manage their mental health and develop resilience. Danielle has helped others develop coping skills for situations where mental health concerns impact their daily lives, equipping them with skills that help lessen the burden struggles of daily life can bring.

She has worked with mothers and families to build skills that enable them to care for their newborns after welcoming their child into the family, lessening the stress and barriers of parenthood. Danielle also has experience supporting individuals with anxiety and everyday challenges that arise. Danielle's own experiences in therapy inspired her to start the journey as a counselor, and she has worked to dispel the stigma and negative perceptions of treatment held within culturally diverse communities. 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Ohio. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anger Management, ADHD, Impulse Control, and Bipolar Disorder.

I believe in taking a collaborative approach with my clients to help them reach their goals. Our sessions will be very individualized and tailored to you. I utilize Creative Therapies, DBT, MI, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy within my practice.
