About Danielle

Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and an LISW-CP with 23 years of clinical experience in outpatient settings. She is licensed in Alabama as an AL LICSW and in South Carolina as an SC LISW-CP and practices in North Carolina. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and trauma.

Her work often addresses family and parenting concerns along with related struggles like intimacy issues, communication problems, and codependency. She also sees people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, and the aftereffects of abuse. Danielle has supported clients facing adoption and foster care questions, caregiver strain, and life transitions.

Sessions are practical and interactive. She uses straightforward conversation and concrete strategies rather than long lectures. Clients can expect talk that focuses on what’s happening now and small steps that fit daily life.

Danielle draws on several therapy approaches she uses in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts that get in the way and tests new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers coping skills for strong emotions and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) also inform her work when helpful.

Her background includes roles as an outpatient therapist, DBT facilitator, and life coach. That mix gives her both clinical and practical coaching perspectives. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday parenting stress. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship conflicts, and mood instability.

She also brings elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when values-based goals and acceptance strategies fit a client's situation. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps the client meet their goals.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Practical benefits often mentioned by people using online therapy include easier fitting of appointments into work or childcare routines, shorter check-in options when time is limited, and the ability to continue therapy across life changes. Therapists and licensed professionals can help arrange sessions that align with a client's schedule and day-to-day demands.
