Danielle Bonner, LICSW, LISW-CP

Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with more than two decades of experience. She practices from a straightforward, practical stance and uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a core approach to help people manage difficult thoughts and behaviors.

She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood concerns such as bipolar. Her work includes addressing trauma and abuse as well as complex family and communication problems.

Danielle blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take workable steps. She brings dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered methods keep conversations grounded in the person’s own goals and strengths.

Her style is realistic, kind, and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Danielle adapts pacing and techniques to each situation rather than following a single script.

Licensed in multiple states, she draws on experience as an outpatient therapist, DBT facilitator, and life coach. That background shapes how she combines skill teaching with supportive listening. Many people find this mix useful when coping with life changes or complicated emotions.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Danielle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often focuses on small experiments, practical exercises, and step-by-step plans that translate well to remote sessions.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values. ACT techniques teach skills for accepting difficult thoughts while keeping attention on meaningful goals. In addition, elements of client-centered therapy keep the conversation focused on the person's experience and priorities rather than a rigid protocol.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person's life and timing.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins and written coaching easier between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other demands.
