Dr. Danielle Hurt

Dr. Danielle Hurt is a licensed professional counselor in Kentucky with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, parenting strains, relationship and family problems, and career or life transitions. She approaches work with warmth and respect and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

She starts by listening and learning each person’s story. Then she helps set clear, manageable goals and picks tools that fit those goals. That might mean working on thought patterns, building new coping skills, or trying short-term solutions to get relief faster.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they suit the situation. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to help clients find momentum and small, practical changes.

Dr. Hurt has supported people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, first responder and veteran issues, and self-esteem challenges. She also offers coaching-style work for career or life direction. Her work aims to reduce overwhelm and increase skills people can use day to day.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. She invites people to take a first step, name a desired change, and work at a pace that fits their life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy starts by placing the person's experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change feelings and behavior. DBT - dialectical behavior therapy - teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Hurt discusses goals and preferences with each person and then recommends strategies that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as those details can vary. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It also lets people use approaches like skills coaching, thought-record exercises, and focused problem-solving from wherever they are, helping translate what happens in sessions into daily routines.
