Dr. Danielle Hurt, LPCC

Dr. Danielle Hurt is a licensed professional counselor clinical (LPCC) in Kentucky with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening closely and building on their strengths. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping clients make small, useful changes that add up over time.

Dr. Hurt believes each person knows their story best and helps them find ways to move forward. She uses conversations that clarify goals and identify concrete steps. That might mean changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new skills, or trying a different way of handling stress.

Her work often centers on common life struggles such as anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem or intimacy. She also supports people facing trauma, parenting challenges, career decisions, ADHD-related concerns, and relationship or family problems. First responders and veterans are among the additional focus areas she understands.

Dr. Hurt blends several approaches in sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, and skills-based methods drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work. She aims to tailor tools to each person rather than using a single fixed method.

In sessions she combines practical skill building with reflective conversation. People can expect clear goals, step-by-step plans, and an emphasis on actions that fit daily life. The focus is on steady progress and building confidence to manage future challenges.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It gives clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by changing thought patterns and practicing different actions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding; the therapist follows the client's pace and supports the person's own insights and choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, in brief, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling distress with step-by-step techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Hurt will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is easier. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, short coaching, or flexible wording between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady momentum toward stated goals.
