Hello! I am a licensed mental health clinician with 10 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and families facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe that therapy is a space for healing, growth, and reclaiming your inner strength. I mainly specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and burnout. My therapeutic style integrates dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, reality therapy, and trauma-informed care, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I also continue to work with couples, and families. My earlier years specialized in family therapy, parent/child conflict, using evidenced based models to help with the family structure in-person, in the homes, but I have made adaptations to the specific models so they can be continued in outpatient therapy. In our sessions, you’ll find a nonjudgmental and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and build practical tools for change. Whether you're navigating a crisis or seeking deeper personal insight, I’m here to walk with you at your pace.

My name is Danielle Jones. I am a graduate of Antioch University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since 2016 my experience has ranged from anxiety, depression and trauma to ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Experience and training have allowed me the privilege of working with adolescents and adults ranging from 15 and up as a mobile therapist and in office settings. Treatment modalities include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Understanding the continuously changing environment and demands that impact mental health, I constantly look for and take advantage of educational opportunities of client-centered treatment modalities that ignite client participation for purposes of collaborative positive change. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor my passion is bringing healing to people who are struggling with some of life’s challenges. I believe that helping people understand and connect to their thought processes creates the foundation for positive change. Using a personable and empathetic approach to understanding people’s challenges, I have made it my purpose to guide and support clients on their journey to achieving and maintaining an improved quality of life. Every treatment approach is unique to the specific needs/goals of the client. Therefore, I take pride in developing a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship that allows clients the freedom to begin their healing process. I offer an environment that clients can feel safe in to explore and challenge themselves. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (as I take on my new role as a grandmom), traveling and reading. I am a huge advocate for self-care and strongly encourage my clients to engage in self-care activities. Some of what I enjoy the most are decorating, gardening and crocheting as hobbies.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Delaware rather than a city like Wilmington?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Delaware from Dover to Newark! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Delaware.

Will my therapist take Optum?

Yes! If you use Optum you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Optum you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
