Professional statement

Danielle Strouse, LCPC is a therapist based in Illinois who helps women find their footing during life’s most challenging transitions. She has a special focus on supporting new mothers experiencing postpartum anxiety, as well as women navigating early adulthood, career changes, or relationship shifts. Clients often describe Danielle’s style as warm and easy to talk to, someone who can hold space for difficult feelings while also offering humor and perspective.

Her approach blends relational therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies, helping clients reduce anxiety, process change, and reconnect with what matters most in their lives. She believes therapy works best when it’s collaborative, flexible, and responsive to each client’s needs.

Danielle earned her Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Latino/a Mental Health and has experience in both community mental health and private practice. She offers online therapy to clients anywhere in Illinois, with weekday and evening appointments available. She accepts BCBS and Aetna and can provide superbills for those using out-of-network benefits.
