About Daniela
LCSW in Utah with four years of clinical experience, Daniela Izatt focuses on addictions and related concerns. She works with adults who are managing substance use and the emotional fallout that often comes with it. Sessions center on practical steps and clearer communication rather than abstract theory.
Daniela draws on several evidence-based techniques to help people reduce harmful patterns and build steadier routines. She helps clients unpack guilt and shame, clarify life purpose, and increase self-compassion in everyday terms. Conversations often include concrete skills for coping and for repairing relationships strained by addiction.
Her background includes work in school-based mental health, substance use treatment, and crisis intervention. Daniela has also supported veterans and active-duty service members in clinical settings. Those experiences shape how she recognizes risk, responds to intense moments, and helps people find next steps.
In sessions she uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy alongside other approaches. These tools are used to change unhelpful patterns, shift painful stories about the self, and practice actions that match a person’s values. She also references family systems and emotion-focused techniques when relationship dynamics are central.
Daniela aims to make therapy straightforward. She walks through clear strategies, teaches communication skills, and helps people set manageable goals. Parents and caregivers reading on a phone will find short, direct guidance and a focus on what to do between sessions.

Approach and what online sessions involve
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses exercises that link values to daily actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose small steps that match what matters to them, which can be useful in recovery and for persistent shame. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate a person from a problem, so clients can rewrite limiting narratives and try new behaviors without being defined by past mistakes. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques that fit, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients can expect regular check-ins about what’s working and what to change. Specific session formats are not listed in the biography. Confirm the available online session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to maintain continuity between appointments.Sheet 3
