Danielle Burnette, LMSW

Clinical Therapist
Online & In-Person
“Our daily lives can be challenging, but there are so many ways and opportunities for us to heal and grow. With an open mind and open heart, I seek to provide guidance to my clients, as they navigate through the process of self-discovery and resolution. By creating a space of empowerment, ambition, and confidence for my clients.” Danielle earned an undergraduate degree from Indiana University and an MSW from NYU. Her experiences at NYU inspired many areas of interest, including trauma/crisis therapy for adolescents and adults. Danielle has worked closely as a case manager for incarcerated juveniles/young adults, offering legal advocacy, future planning sessions, and social emotional support through correspondence. Danielle is currently working as a full-time high school social worker, and has training in harassment, bullying, discrimination prevention and intervention in schools. She also has her Professional Educators Licensure in the state of Illinois as well as her Professional Educators Certificate in the state of New York. Danielle believes that therapy must be individually crafted, and there is not a “one size fits all” approach. We each walk are own unique path, and sometimes we need support. Being different is an integral part of human life. In therapy, Danielle creates a warm and supportive environment, and incorporates psychotherapeutic training, and mindfulness into treatment plans. Her goal is to provide her clients the tools/techniques to help them progress and move forward in life.
