About Dani
Dani Castleberry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Dani also focuses on communication problems, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love.
Dani uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day struggles. Sessions typically include identifying patterns, practicing coping skills, and planning small steps that fit into everyday life. She adapts the pace and topics to what each person needs in the moment.
Her background over the past decade includes supporting people through crisis and transitions. That experience informs how she helps clients prioritize what to address first and when to add skill work. Dani keeps goals concrete so progress can be tracked between sessions.
In the room she listens for patterns that affect mood and behavior, then suggests concrete tools to try. She checks in on how those tools are working and adjusts the approach as needed. This makes the work practical and focused on real-life changes.
People working with Dani can expect clear discussion about goals, homework that fits a busy schedule, and regular review of progress. To begin she asks about current struggles, what has been tried before, and what a better week would look like.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Two evidence-based techniques often used in this work are skills-based coping strategies and trauma-focused approaches. Skills-based coping teaches concrete tools such as breathing techniques, activity planning, and thought-challenging to reduce anxiety and manage day-to-day stress. Trauma-focused approaches look at how past experiences affect current reactions and introduce steps to lessen those reactions over time.Figuring out which approach fits best is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals, history, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you’ll try approaches and adjust based on what feels practical and useful for your life.
Confirm current session options before booking to know exactly which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or video is not practical. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit your routine and goals.
