About Danelle

Danelle Kiziah is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress and anxiety, including panic attacks. She works with adults and young adults and provides an affirming space for LGBTQ+ people to talk through identity, self-esteem, and life transitions. Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at people who want practical help and clearer days ahead.

She listens for patterns that keep problems going, such as communication breakdowns, codependency, or unhelpful thinking. In sessions she supports clients dealing with grief, mood shifts, postpartum depression, and trauma-related reactions. She also helps people who struggle with obsessions, compulsions, or the ups and downs of ADHD symptoms.

Kiziah focuses on usable skills rather than labels. She helps clients build better communication, set boundaries, and strengthen self-love. Clients work on small changes they can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage panic when it happens.

Her work in North Carolina draws on three years of clinical experience as an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. That experience informs how she helps people find practical steps toward feeling more capable and calm. She supports exploration of life purpose, healing after sexual assault, and recovery from relationship loss.

If someone prefers straightforward, collaborative therapy, she helps map clear goals and checks progress along the way. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

Approaches that help with anxiety and panic

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and understanding patterns that keep problems going. For example, techniques that target anxiety often teach breathing, grounding, and coping steps to use during a panic episode to reduce intensity and regain control. Approaches for mood and trauma-related difficulties typically include ways to name feelings, track triggers, and practice small behavioral changes that ease symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, history, and preferences. Together they review what is and isn't working and try adjustments until the plan fits daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care while managing work, family demands, or school, helping therapy feel more accessible without promising a particular delivery method.
