Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience serving clients in outpatient settings, as a DBT facilitator, and as a life coach. She holds the credentials LICSW and LISW-CP, clinical social work licenses that allow independent practice and clinical decision making.

Her counseling style is realistic, kind, and interactive, grounded in a commitment to treat every person with dignity and respect. She blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, psychodynamic perspectives, and rational-emotive interventions to create individualized treatment plans. Danielle adapts the tone and content of sessions to match each client’s needs, priorities, and goals, integrating skills training, reflective exploration, and practical problem solving as appropriate.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that emphasizes clear goals and compassionate accountability. Danielle looks forward to working with individuals and families to navigate life transitions, manage symptoms, and strengthen relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danielle Bonner integrates evidence-based approaches to help clients build skills and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills - useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with crisis moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, supports clients in clarifying personal values and taking committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Danielle works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so treatment aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to access licensed professionals from one’s own community or home.
