About Danny
He frames counseling as a partnership where the person seeking help is the expert on their own life. Sessions emphasize learning what can be controlled and what cannot. Clients get straightforward tools, homework when helpful, and measurable goals to track progress.
Danny has worked in correctional and emergency settings, providing individual therapy, group work, crisis intervention, and treatment planning. That background influences his practical style and his focus on skills that work in everyday life. He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Common concerns addressed include addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, and anger. He also supports people dealing with career changes, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life transitions.
In sessions Danny uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, psycho-education, client-centered work, and solution-focused techniques. Those methods are applied in simple, concrete ways to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. He aims to help people discover strengths and set realistic next steps.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online care
Many of the methods Danny lists are action-oriented and translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Accelerated Resolution Therapy uses guided imagery and memory processing to reduce distress from traumatic memories and can speed up symptom relief for trauma and PTSD.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adapt techniques based on how someone responds. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which tools to use and whether to adjust course over time.
The listing does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, shorten commute time, and allow more flexible scheduling. It also supports continuing care after an in-person course of treatment and lets people use therapeutic tools in their day-to-day environments.
