Dr. Daniels' research centers on disenfranchised grief, vicarious trauma, and expressive arts interventions. She develops person-centered clinical approaches for domestic violence survivors and bereavement counseling, emphasizing nervous system regulation and burnout prevention through self-care workshops. Her pedagogy utilizes experiential group learning to address trauma-grief co-occurrence while maintaining professional boundaries in educational settings.
Recent scholarship examines expressive arts in social work education, online group dynamics in academic programs, and school-based trauma-informed systems. These works demonstrate consistent focus on integrating creative modalities across clinical, educational, and community contexts to foster resilience through collective reflection and nervous system regulation techniques.
Dr. Daniels mentors students in trauma-responsive clinical practice with emphasis on lifelong reflective habits and self-care protocols. She actively collaborates with Healing Stitches as Board Member and Workshop Leader, designing trauma-informed expressive arts initiatives for underserved populations, and previously contributed to South Florida Red Cross diversity initiatives and armed forces trauma resiliency programs.
