Danielle Mendez - LPC, NCC, CTRP-C, CSAT

Virtual therapy in Texas, Ohio and Washington

Some dirt on me...

  • I love cool, colorful lighting in both my office and home.

  • Art is my passion, especially abstract art in various mediums.

  • I'll dance to anything and everything.

  • My furbaby is Tequila, a Chihuahua who looks like a mini Doberman 

  • Love tropical beaches and the tranquility of the PNW rainforest.

  • Superfan fan of all things vampire, including “Twilight” (I even visited Forks, WA).

  • Bilingual in Spanish.

  • Big on TexMex and die-hard ice cream lover.

  • Practice yoga for grounding and stress relief.

  • Passionate about traveling and exploring cultures different from my own.

  • “Danielle’s demeanor with her clients and overall knowledge of psychology is impressive. I work in the mental health field as a Psychiatrist and she understands how to navigate difficult topics with ease. She is a great listener while also not being an enabler (she will still hold you accountable). During our sessions I felt understood and always left feeling better than when I would come in. She is also professional, punctual with time, and lenient with her schedule. 5/5 I would highly recommend to anyone interested in therapy with Danielle.”

    Privately Disclosed

  • “When I asked Danielle for help, I was losing my battle with sex addiction. I didn’t like the harm my actions had already caused in my life, and I feared where I was headed. Fortunately, working with her has given me tools that make my compulsion more manageable. I’m not “fixed” yet, but I am better, and we celebrate my small and large victories along the way. She has been a great listener, punctual, insightful, and most importantly, she makes me feel like she cares. I have never felt judged, and that’s a big deal for me since I don’t give myself much grace.”

    Privately Disclosed

  • “I love Danielle! I have been seeing her for a little over a year now and she has been super helpful. I struggle with anxiety and confidence issues and Danielle has been very helpful in working through that and learning how to set boundaries and being able to feel more confident about my decisions. She truly cares about her clients and wants to help. She has gone out of her way to help me.”

    Privately Disclosed

  • “Danielle is empathetic, nonjudgmental, skilled and helped me navigate my emotions, thoughts and behaviors. She was experienced in what I was going through and helped me to address those areas. I felt comfortable and understood and that is key for effective therapy. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone who is going through current trauma or past trauma experiences”

Searching for a therapist online is probably not how you imagined kicking off your Monday during your lunch break…

…but here we are.

If you’re ready to take back your life, you’ve come to the right place.

My style is chill vibes with a sprinkle of challenge. 

I'm going give you nudges when needed and help you look at things from fresh angles.

We'll work on connecting the dots and spotting patterns that might have been hiding in plain sight.

Fair warning: an f-bomb might slip out, or a joke might fly if it fits the moment.

I can’t wait to celebrate your wins, no matter how monumental or minute.

Holy sh*t, I’ve got this.

Our goal is to create more of those “f*ck yeah” moments in life, when everything just snaps into place.

Maybe you've busted through a tough barrier, or something's finally clicked after ages.

In our sessions, we hunt for these moments – they're the fist pumps, the victory dances, showing the world (and yourself) what you're made of.

It's all about riding that wave of ‘I’m crushing it’ vibes, feeling bold, and owning your journey.
