Dannielle Kyrillos
Pronouns: she/her
Therapy can help when you’ve been striving and achieving—professionally, creatively, or both—but other parts of life feel stalled, strained, or out of alignment. Dannielle supports clients who feel disconnected from themselves, unsure how to move forward in relationships or dating, or stretched thin by responsibility and pressure.
She works with entrepreneurs and founders navigating the particular pressures of building—identity tied to outcomes, loneliness at the top, and the difficulty of stepping back without feeling like everything will fall apart.
Approach
Dannielle approaches the therapeutic relationship with warmth and steadiness, creating a space where clients can safely look inward, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with what matters most. She draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support individuals and couples in developing greater self-compassion, loosening long-standing patterns, and building more authentic ways of relating—to themselves and to others. Dannielle's prior work in both creative and corporate settings also informs her work with professionals navigating high levels of responsibility, transition, and pressure—including entrepreneurs and founders managing the particular demands of building something.
Areas of focus
Dannielle works with adults and couples navigating relationship patterns, life transitions, and the pressure of building something of their own—whether that's a partnership, a family, or a business. Many clients are used to holding things together for others and are looking for a space where they can be honest about what's actually hard.
Clients often seek out Dannielle for support with:
attachment patterns and questions about intimacy and partnership
couples therapy focused on deeper connection and improved communication
identity strain, loneliness, and decision fatigue tied to founder or leadership responsibility
periods of emotional or existential transition
