About Dannette

Dannette Vest is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of clinical experience. She centers her work on helping people develop clearer self-understanding and build practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and changes in life. Dannette aims to create a calm, welcoming space where clients can begin to feel steadier and more in control.

She believes progress starts with noticing patterns that no longer serve you. In sessions she helps people look honestly at behaviors and reactions. That awareness becomes the starting point for new perspectives and healthier habits.

Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties. She integrates methods to match each person's situation rather than relying on a single approach. This gives the work flexibility for both short-term goals and deeper change.

Dannette also brings experience supporting people through adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, financial strain, and multicultural challenges. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, infidelity, and isolation can shape daily life and relationships.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. The goal is steady growth, clearer choices, and skills that make life more manageable. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Dannette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is one approach she uses to address trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people reframe distressing beliefs related to traumatic events. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect from different locations without changing their routine, which can help maintain continuity of care while working toward emotional goals.
