About Danielle
Danielle Larson is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience supporting adults. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and family of origin problems. Danielle also helps people facing grief, parenting stress, career change, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.
She favors clear, practical conversations about how past family roles and expectations still shape present behavior. Sessions focus on naming patterns, improving communication, and testing small behavior changes. Danielle uses evidence-based methods so people can try tools that fit their lives.
Danielle draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. She blends these to address emotional regulation, boundaries, and relationship skills rather than relying on a single technique.
She has substantial experience helping clients work through attachment concerns, abandonment feelings, control and impulsivity problems, and substance use challenges. Her background includes supporting those navigating guilt, shame, and issues tied to family of origin.
Practical skills are emphasized over long lectures. Clients can expect focused sessions that look at specific patterns, practice communication and emotion regulation skills, and set manageable goals. Danielle works in English and practices in Illinois.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when old family patterns make decision-making and emotional responses feel automatic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for impulsivity and relationship struggles.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That means adjusting techniques over time and combining tools when needed.
The original biography did not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. They also let people practice communication and emotion-regulation skills in the settings where problems arise. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises for virtual sessions so clients can try skills and get feedback during regular appointments.
