Meet Danielle - Founder and Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Welcome! I’m Danielle, the founder of Lighthouse Counseling Associates. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience providing therapeutic support to children, teens, adults, families, and couples. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Business from Emmanuel College and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rhode Island College. My goal is to offer a safe, welcoming environment where individuals can feel supported and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.


Specialties and Therapeutic Approach

With a diverse background working in various settings, including in-home services, acute inpatient care, and private practice, I understand the unique needs of each client. I am passionate about using a client-centered approach that focuses on building trust, understanding, and resilience. Whether working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, or family-related issues, I strive to create a relaxed and supportive space where clients can feel heard and valued.

I offer therapeutic services for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety management, relationship dynamics, life transitions, and personal growth. My goal is to help clients gain new insights, develop coping strategies, and feel empowered to create positive changes in their lives.


Experience and Background

Throughout my career, I have provided mental health services in a variety of settings, including private practice, in-home therapy, and acute inpatient care. I have extensive experience working with clients across the lifespan, from children and adolescents to adults and couples. I founded Lighthouse Counseling Associates with the vision of creating a holistic practice where clients can receive personalized support and feel encouraged on their path to healing.
