Meet Danyale
Danyale Barrett, LMSW
Therapist under supervision of Caitlin Kirby, LICSW-S
(Mobile and virtual locations)
Hello and Welcome!
If you're struggling to manage overwhelming responsibilities, feeling unsettled in your relationships, a single parent running on empty, or if you've been hit with the unexpected and are unsure how to grasp life again - this is where your journey toward healing begins.
Welcome! I'm Danyale Barrett, LMSW, and I'm so thrilled that you're taking this courageous step toward improving your life. I'm SO excited to work with you, I briefly considered scheduling our first session for tomorrow at 1am! (And yes, I do believe a little well-timed humor is a vital tool for gaining perspective.) My primary goal is to create a warm, judgment-free, and authentic space just for you!
My professional background includes a Master's degree in Social Work from Walden University and my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of South Alabama. (Go Jags!) With over 11 years of social work experience across diverse settings like medical, child welfare, hospice, and mental health, I've learned that resilience is universal, and sometimes we just need a compassionate guide.
I'm passionate about serving women, men, and teens dealing with challenges related to:
Relationships
Low Self-Esteem
Life Transitions
Depression
Grief and Loss
Anxiety
Burnout
Single Parenting
Childhood Trauma
To address these challenges, I integrate different evidence-based practices to fit your specific needs. Approaches include:
CBT: gaining control over your emotions
DBT: accepting where you are and taking steps to change
PDT: uncovering hidden things that influence your feelings and behavior
SFBT: focusing on your strengths to find solutions
MI: strengthening your motivation and commitment to change
On my days off, you may find me in Mobile, AL, enjoying competitive recreational sports, playing video games, painting, spending quality time with family or yelling at movie characters while watching horror films.
I can't wait to meet you, hear your story, and begin working with you. Healing and thriving is absolutely possible, and I'm ready to walk alongside you every step of the way!
