About Danielle
Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 23 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and has worked across a range of outpatient settings. Danielle helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, and related concerns.
Her background includes long-term outpatient therapy, running Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups, and life coaching. Danielle has supported people dealing with intimate partner violence, child abuse and neglect, substance use issues, OCD, ADHD, and grief. She draws on many clinical approaches to fit the situation she encounters.
In sessions she uses straightforward, interactive methods. Conversations focus on what is workable now and on skills that reduce distress. Danielle integrates cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches to help people notice patterns and practice different responses.
She also brings DBT-informed skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. That can include learning concrete strategies for handling anger, building distress tolerance, and improving communication. Coaching techniques are used when clients want practical steps and goal-focused support.
Danielle keeps therapy clear and respectful. She and the client set goals together and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, people use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Danielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that fit well with remote work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take value-guided actions despite discomfort, which can be practiced between sessions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes that reduce anger and anxiety. She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those are skills you can learn in-session and then try out during day-to-day situations, reporting back on what worked. Finding the right approach is a shared process. Danielle will discuss goals, preferences, and what techniques feel most useful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to emphasize and how to structure work over time. Confirm the current session delivery options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine - for example, shorter check-ins on a break, sessions that avoid travel time, or doing skill practice between meetings. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work on managing anger and improving relationships.Areas of focus
