Danny Ludwig, LCSW

Danny Ludwig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 30 years of experience. He works with adults on problems like anger, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, and workplace stress. He also lists ADHD, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and relationship and family concerns among his focus areas.

He blends straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. He favors Reality Therapy and Control Theory ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused work. That means he helps people look at what they are doing now, what they want instead, and small changes they can try to see different results.

Much of his career combined counseling and teaching with disadvantaged youth and young adults. Years in classrooms shaped how he helps people problem-solve and test new choices in real situations. He uses goal-setting and short-term, action-oriented steps to make progress feel manageable.

He also draws on an active life outside the office. As an endurance runner and outdoorsman, he values exercise and outdoor activities as tools that can influence mood and perspective. He encourages setting achievable goals and tracking small wins.

Sessions aim to be clear and practical. He supports people working through control issues, impulsivity, emptiness, gender dysphoria-related concerns, men’s issues, and career or workplace stress. People who want concrete change and tools to manage anger and daily stress often seek this style of work.
