Embrace Your Relationship
About Dani Carson, LPC, LMFT, MBA
My Qualifications
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have earned both a Masters degree in Counseling from the College of William & Mary and a Masters in Business Management in Healthcare Administration.
I have been supporting individuals, couples, and families for over 15 years as a therapist. I have experience in rural, suburban and urban mental health and relationships and have worked in residential and community settings, focusing specifically on trauma informed care. I have learned that supporting couples and families through coaching can be a very effective way of helping them to resolve conflict and work with each members backgrounds to create the relationship they desire.
I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds along with those who are important to them, whether they be biological family or a family of choice. I use a systemic approach to meet people where they are to create your own village that works for you.
I have been training foster parents, community organizations, larger businesses and couples on how to meet the mental health needs of your family, organization and community.
I moved to the United States from Australia in 1995 and now as a US Citizen, has personal experience in dealing with immigration issues. I also spent 18 years as a military spouse and understand both the challenges and benefits of belonging to a military network. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my own family of 7.
My Approach
Over the years, I have learned that couples work does not mean "fix my partner". Utilizing Imago, Gottman, Brainspotting and trauma informed approaches, I do not diagnose one partner to meet insurance requirements. I do meet you where you are to achieve your goals for your relationships. I believe that your relationship is unique to you, and you deserve to be honored for who you are in your relationship. I support romantic relationships to transform from the honeymoon phase, through the power struggle, and move towards a deeper, real love.
My Specialties
I specialize in helping people create the relationships that they desire, whenever possible. Whether that be supporting you in learning to communicate effectively together, coaching you through using new conflict resolution techniques, helping your relationship recover from an affair, or navigating amicable separation, I specialize in supporting conflicted individuals deepen their relationships in a way that works for you. I do this through couples intensives tailored just for you, couples workshops, premarital and conflict resolution workshops.
