She utilizes evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma, as well as psychodynamic and humanistic strategies. Dr. McDaniel believes strongly in collaborating with her clients to explain and explore these therapeutic strategies in order to identify an approach that aligns with their personal preferences to meet their goals. She applies strength-based and value-based methods to build confidence and skills in handling emotions, relationships (including communication and boundary-setting), depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, aging, and identity development.

Her clinical-community training at USC emphasized understanding not just the individual, but also social and environmental factors that may be linked to stress and mental well-being. Before joining CWW, Dr. McDaniel worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including medical centers, community mental health clinics, a residential substance abuse center, psychiatric inpatient units, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs (PHP/IOP), and private practice.
