Research Focus: Danielle's work bridges clinical psychology and digital wellbeing, examining how social media exacerbates anxiety through intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and fear of missing out (FoMO). She explores transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for comorbid anxiety/depression and gender-specific self-compassion frameworks.
Recent Publications: Analyzed IU as a central driver in adolescent social media use (2024), FoMO's role in anxiety (2023), and gender disparities in self-compassion (2023). Earlier work includes meta-analyses of self-compassion interventions (2019) and online CBT efficacy (2022).
Collaborations: Works with co-investigators like Ronald Rapee and Carolyn Schniering on trials such as internet-delivered transdiagnostic therapy and post-COVID reintegration programs for extracurricular activities via Ausdance.
