Meet Desiree
Desiree Danielson, LCSW
For over a decade I've worked alongside engineers, founders, designers, and operators navigating the very specific kind of pressure that comes from building something meaningful. EmbraceWell is my answer to a question I've heard hundreds of times: "Is there someone I can just talk to — without it becoming a whole thing?"
Yes. That's what we do. Private, consistent, evidence-based support from one person who actually knows you.
Licensed clinical social worker
LCSW in California and Washington. 10+ years of practice.
Trained in CBT, ACT, and EMDR
Sessions tailored to what actually moves the needle for you.
Corporate & startup background
Ex-OnDeck, advisor to four mental-health startups.
Plain-spoken, never clinical-speak
You'll never hear jargon. Just real talk and a plan.
"The best therapy happens when someone feels genuinely safe. That's the bar I'm always trying to clear — even on the hard days."— Desiree
