About Danielle

Danielle Larson is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, grounded therapy. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problems with relationships and intimacy. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable.

In sessions she listens closely, then works with each person to set clear goals. Danielle uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to shift unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She also draws on client-centered and dialectical approaches to strengthen coping skills and emotional regulation. Danielle has eleven years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, addiction, and career stress. She supports people dealing with impulsivity, self-esteem struggles, and family-of-origin issues.

Her work addresses practical problems as well as the feelings underneath them. She aims to help clients build better communication, manage strong emotions, and make steady changes without pressure. Danielle pays attention to how patterns from past relationships affect current ones and helps people try new approaches in safe steps.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Danielle holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and blends evidence-based techniques with an accepting, collaborative stance.

Online approaches that focus on skills and values

Danielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves clear exercises and experiments to test new ways of coping and thinking, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity issues.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can be especially helpful for managing persistent worry, low motivation, or the frustrations that come with ADHD challenges.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Danielle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you work in real time and practice skills together. Phone sessions are available when bandwidth is limited or for easier check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or use written coaching when that feels more practical. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules.
