Danielle Carlson, LMFT

My specialty includes working with adolescents, adults, and families to address challenging thoughts & emotions, resolving conflict, managing difficult life transitions, and finding balance & positive coping skills to help you live life to the fullest. You can rest assured that you will be in a comfortable, supportive, and encouraging environment, where the focus will be individualized – there is no ‘cookie cutter’ way of doing things here, and your individual needs to achieve growth are my top priority.

As a professional therapist, my role is to guide you as you take steps towards positive life changes, healing, and a healthy mind. Together we’ll work to uncover and better understand life’s challenges and day-to-day stressors that detract from your life and focus, and begin identifying and practicing things that will make you stronger.
I offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) at Windfall Equestrian Center in Stillwater, MN. EAP experiential therapy process based on the belief that horses can help us learn new, more innovative ways of thinking about behavior and how we interact with others. Through a collaborative experiential learning process, participants use past experience, trial and error, reflection, generalization and metaphors to facilitate learning. Participants then take their experiences and the insights they have developed and bring them back to their daily lives.
I also offer telehealth via secure video sessions.
I have specialized training in providing affirming care to LGBTQ+ individuals and families. I also have expertise in providing therapy to parents struggling with family life.
It can be very hard to make the first step of contacting a therapist when you are struggling. I am here to help make your process run smoothly and as anxiety free as possible. I am waiting to meet you to begin a journey towards healing and finding your best self!
