About Danielle

Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with more than 23 years of experience in outpatient therapy and life coaching. She works in North Carolina and brings a practical, straightforward style to sessions. Danielle aims to create a respectful space where people can address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and codependency concerns.

Her work often focuses on everyday problems like parenting strain, communication breakdowns, and intimacy issues. She also supports people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Danielle’s background includes facilitating Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups and helping clients with substance-use challenges and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Danielle describes her counseling style as realistic, kind, and interactive. She listens, helps clarify goals, and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions blend practical skill-building with space to process emotions and past experiences.

Her approach draws from cognitive methods and acceptance-based ideas alongside client-centered and emotionally focused work. Danielle uses techniques to manage difficult thoughts, build healthier patterns, and strengthen relationships when that is part of a person’s goals.

People seeking coaching-style support or collaborative therapy find her emphasis on respectful dialogue and problem solving useful. She aims to help clients make concrete changes while honoring their values and history.

Approaches that guide online work and decision making

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making value-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems and teaches concrete skills to shift them, often used for depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, collaborative relationship where the therapist supports the person’s own problem solving and self-understanding. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danielle will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can include combining approaches so sessions match what the person needs at the time. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people join from a quieter location, reduce the need to arrange childcare or time off work, and help maintain ongoing momentum between visits.
