About Dankel
Dankel Paine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience based in Texas. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and navigate parenting challenges. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin the work of change.
She uses an attachment-based perspective to understand how early relationships affect current patterns. That view helps when clients struggle with trust, abandonment, or feeling disconnected.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered methods to shape sessions around each person's concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolbox for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice and tolerate difficult feelings without reacting.
Motivational Interviewing supports those working through substance use or ambivalence about change. Paine adapts her approach to fit what each person needs. She listens first, then builds a plan together.
Sessions are practical and conversational, with concrete steps to try between meetings. She works in English and holds LPC credentials in Michigan and Texas. Her practice aims to help people take the next step toward a more balanced life by addressing symptoms and the relationship patterns behind them.

Online support
Approaches for attachment, change, and coping online
Dankel Paine uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. That perspective can be useful for concerns like abandonment, trust issues, and difficulty feeling connected to others.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the conversation guided by the person's needs and goals. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when anxiety or mood problems get in the way.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try different methods and settle on what fits their goals and preferences. This lets the plan change as progress is made or new concerns appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, different comfort levels on camera, and varying communication needs.
