About Danna
Danna Russell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on day-to-day problems that get in the way of functioning, including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also lists ADHD among her areas of focus and works with concerns that affect work and caregiving roles.
Her sessions often concentrate on practical steps and clearer patterns of thinking. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful habits, process hard memories, and understand internal parts that drive behavior. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to what is realistic for a client's life.
Danna pays particular attention to issues that come up for people who carry caregiving responsibilities. She helps individuals identify burnout signs, set clearer boundaries, and manage the ongoing stress that caregiving can bring. She also addresses workplace stress and communication problems related to job roles.
She works with concerns such as codependency, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. For people with mood problems or somatic symptoms, sessions aim to link feelings and behaviors to daily routines and supports. Past work has included helping clients improve self-love practices and tackle women’s health related emotional concerns.
Danna draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Internal Family Systems in her approach. She asks about what matters most to a person and then uses tools from these models to address those priorities. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Danna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice different responses. CBT sessions typically involve setting concrete goals, trying specific techniques between meetings, and reviewing what worked.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which focuses on processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. EMDR is often used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life.
Internal Family Systems is another model she draws on to help people notice the different parts of themselves that hold feelings, urges, or protective roles. That approach is useful for understanding why someone might act against their own interests and for developing self-leadership.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Danna discusses needs, goals, and preferences with each person and chooses methods together. That lets sessions shift if a different approach seems more helpful over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a workday, or remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt the pace and tools to suit someone’s routine and goals.
