About Danielle

Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 23 years of experience in outpatient mental health. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, LGBT issues, family of origin matters, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, bipolar, and ADHD among her areas of focus.

Her day-to-day approach is practical and interactive. Sessions tend to pair problem-solving with attention to feelings. She uses clear language and offers direct feedback rather than lengthy theory lectures. Conversations move between skills practice and reflection on patterns that keep problems repeating.

Clinically she draws on cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relational concerns. Client-Centered principles guide the way she listens and responds during sessions.

Her background includes many years as an outpatient therapist, a DBT facilitator, and work as a life coach. That mix means she brings both short-term skills work and longer-term exploration into sessions. She has experience with trauma, including intimate partner violence and child abuse and neglect, and with parenting and adoption-related issues.

Danielle is licensed in Alabama (AL LICSW) and South Carolina (SC LISW-CP) and practices in North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should use the site's matching steps to view current session options and scheduling details.

How therapy approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, and on clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making meaningful life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and attention difficulties.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful for anger, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily realities to decide which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to remote sessions so people can practice tools between appointments.
