I'm Rima Danielle, MFT — a licensed psychotherapist and certified hypnotherapist offering virtual sessions for clients in California and Nevada. With 17+ years of experience, I help high-functioning, self-aware people heal anxiety, trauma, burnout, and self-doubt.
Why Work With Me
I don't teach theory — I teach what works. Every tool I share is something I've tested on myself or refined through 17+ years of deep, transformative work with clients.
My role isn't to fix or judge. It's to walk beside you as you navigate your own healing — with structure, support, and zero pretense.
I've done my own inner work. I know what it's like to struggle, sacrifice, and make hard choices in service of living honestly.
Talk therapy helps you understand your patterns. My approach gives you practical tools to actually shift them — in your body, not just your mind.
I integrate CBT, somatic work, hypnotherapy, parts work, and mindfulness — whatever serves you best, not a rigid one-size-fits-all model.
Services
All sessions are offered virtually. I work with adults throughout California and Nevada who are ready to move beyond surviving and into genuinely thriving.
Holistic, integrative therapy for anxiety, burnout, trauma, self-worth, and life transitions. I use CBT, somatic work, mindfulness, and parts work tailored to you.

My clients aren't broken — they're self-aware people who've outgrown the coping strategies that used to work. They're ready for something deeper.
Racing thoughts, perfectionism, fear of judgment — addressed at the root, not just managed on the surface.
Trauma lives in the body. I use somatic and hypnotherapy approaches to help you release what talk alone can't reach.
Major changes — career, relationships, identity — deserve more than advice. We do the deeper work together.
People-pleasing, self-doubt, imposter syndrome — we get to the beliefs running the show and rewrite them.
You had a profound experience. I help you translate it into lasting change — with clinical grounding and genuine respect for the medicine.
You don't need a crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you just know you're capable of more — and you want a guide.
About Rima
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified hypnotherapist offering virtual sessions for clients in California and Nevada. I live full-time in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica — a decision that took its own kind of courage and inner work.
"I live what I teach — actively doing my own inner work, following my dreams, and helping others do the same."
The Jungle Girl Story
A neighbor handed me a comic book found at a pawn shop in Ohio. The name on the cover? Rima the Jungle Girl — a jungle-dwelling mystic who lived in harmony with nature, protected animals, and followed an untamed path.
I had never heard of her. But I had always been her. The name stuck — and so did the life it pointed toward.

What if you could train your brain like a muscle? In this book, Rima draws on 17+ years of clinical experience and the neuroscience of neuroplasticity to give you a science-based method for shifting from anxiety to confidence — permanently.
This isn't toxic positivity or generic affirmations. It's the same approach Rima uses with clients every day — now accessible to anyone ready to do the work.
"Rima's approach is different. She explains the actual brain science, and her techniques feel authentic, not forced."
"For the first time, I understand WHY my thoughts have so much power — and how to use that power intentionally."
