Statement to Client
AVAILABLE FOR TELETHERAPY FOR THOSE LOCATED IN MICHIGAN ONLY AS OF 8/21/25.
As a social worker, Danica's approach to therapy is anti-oppressive. She is a straight, cis, straight-size, Filipina Asian American woman who strives to be a better accomplice to all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, body sizes, faiths, and spiritualities.
Danica believes in the therapeutic philosophy that life just sucks sometimes; sometimes a client wants a therapist to help it feel less sucky and other times, they need a therapist to just hold space for them.
She also combines scientific, evidenced-based practices and therapy treatments taught at the best social work school and program in the world with the people skills and street smarts from working in a local private practice to starting her own solo practice. She creates and communicates customized treatment plans to each individual person that walks into her therapy room or, in the case of teletherapy, computer screen.
Her main areas of focus include anxiety (generalized anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD), pregnancy (from infertility to postpartum to grieving due to miscarriage or abortion), and trauma (which not only includes PTSD, but also complex-PTSD/borderline personality disorder and identity-based trauma).
Danica's ideal population is anyone from young adult to middle age. However, some exceptions can be made for folks a bit younger or older. Please reach out if after reading her bio, you think you would be a great fit.
As a 1.5-generation Filipina-American, she personally understands the intersection of mental health with the Asian diaspora, and therefore, encourages Asian-Americans to reach out for mental health services.
Danica has recently completed her certificate in Sport Social Work from The University of Michigan on July 2025. Inspired by her long-time favorite self-care activity endurance running and training, she noticed a growing trend of young adults turning to running half and full marathons as their new self-care activity, too. She decided to receive more training on how to help the mental health of athletes from those who have been playing sports since childhood to nontraditional athletes who are just starting to appreciate what their bodies can do.
Danica is also a former librarian social worker trained in bibliotherapy, which can be used as a standalone treatment or as a complement to other therapies to help with any mental health issue. Please check out her Goodreads account to learn more about her experience.
