Whether you’re an individual looking for growth or an event coordinator seeking an expert facilitator or speaker, I bring mental health training, expertise, and empathy to every engagement.

Let’s be our best selves.

Passionate storytelling around topics that matter

It’s not every day you meet a licensed therapist with a background in professional acting and dance. Audiences can expect to be highly amused and entertained, as well as given expert insights and practical tips for growth. I bring energy along with my expertise, and a laugh twice the size of my body. 

Audiences leave feeling seen and understood, as well as equipped to tackle life’s challenges in new and fresh ways. My content is designed to be experienced rather than just heard, encouraging engagement and action.

The Force: Leveraging Social Media as Your Greatest Teacher

As we mindlessly scroll on our phones, before we know it we’ve blown hours and our self-esteem while we’re at it. In this interactive talk, I’ll help you turn social media into your greatest teacher and a force for good in your life.

Empathy: A Universal Language & Your Biggest Asset

Internal barriers and mind junk can keep us from living the bold, courageous, and fulfilling lives we were designed to live. And if often comes down to permission. It’s time to give ourselves permission to overcome our mental obstacles and take action with courage and clarity.

Permission Slip

We are feeling beings who think, not thinking beings who feel. But many of us learn early on to suck it up and stuff our feelings. Together we’ll learn how to move through life as the best, most whole, and integrated version of ourselves using empathy as our guide.

Civil Discourse: Bridging the Divide

As our relationship with social media and technology deepens, so do our country’s rates of anxiety, depression, bullying, and polarization. But we can learn to leverage technology to increase connection, understanding, and acceptance.

I’d love to work with you!

Encouragement and connection are two passions of mine that drove me to pursue advanced education in social work and counseling. While the professional acronyms behind my name (MSW, LCSW) do matter, it’s my heart for changing lives and relatability that makes all the difference. 

We all want to feel secure in our own identity, emotions, and purpose, but life’s craziness can easily throw us off course. I provide insight and clarity, allowing you to face adversity with courage and untangle complex emotions and situations.

What counseling certifications/licenses do you hold?

I am accredited as a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LSW (Licensed Social Worker), and have also completed my MSW (Master’s in Social Work).

How much do therapy sessions cost?

Appointments are $150 for a 50-minute session.

Do you accept insurance?

My practice is out of network, but I do have many clients who choose to submit receipts to their provider for any possible out of network reimbursement. Also, if your plan includes an HSA card, this can be used as a method of payment.

How frequently should I schedule appointments?

While the total number of sessions needed vary, clients begin to get a strong sense of what will work best for them between sessions 4-6. It is recommended that the first four sessions are scheduled as close together as possible (usually weekly).

Do you accept payment plans or work with sliding scale fees? 

Each session is paid for one at a time, at the end of the clinical hour.

Do you offer a complimentary introduction?

Yes! Your relationship with your therapist is a deeply personal one, and it is important that you feel you are making the choices that feel best for you. New clients are welcome to schedule a 15 -minute introduction, either over the phone or in person at no charge.

How do I contact you for an appointment?

Office hours are Monday through Friday. Appointment openings vary based on availability. Reach out for an appointment using the form provided or you can email danielle@danielleireland.com or call 317-796-5913.

Your people will leave with clear steps and action plans for growth beyond our time together.

Social Media & Connection

We often mindlessly scroll our phones, blowing by hours and our self-esteem while we’re at it. Believe it or not, I can help you turn social media into your greatest teacher and a force for good in your life.

Empathy

Internal barriers and mind junk keep us from living the bold, courageous, and fulfilling lives we were designed for. It’s time to give ourselves permission to overcome mental obstacles and leverage empathy to find courage and clarity.

Depression, Stress & Anxiety

So many of us suffer silently with emotional struggles. The critical voices in our heads keep us quiet, and before we know it, darkness can settle in. Together we'll find our way to the light through story and practical helps.

Permission, Perfection & Procrastination

There are three P-words that tend to trip us up: Permission, Perfection, and Procrastination. We'll explore how these sticklers keep us stuck and learn tools for finding freedom on the other side.

Let’s give them something they’ll never forget.
