Danny Maggard, LPC

Danny Maggard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical counseling experience and a broader background in emergency services. He works with adults on issues such as addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and life changes. He also helps people dealing with career disruption, self‑esteem problems, bipolar disorder, and coaching for practical life goals.

He brings more than 20 years of experience in firefighting, emergency management, and law enforcement to his counseling work. That background shaped his approach to crisis situations and first responder concerns. He previously provided individual and group therapy, behavioral intervention, case management, and treatment planning in a corrections and addiction treatment setting.

Danny uses straightforward, evidence‑based techniques in sessions. He works with people to identify what they can control and what they cannot. He asks clients to take an active role in the work, including completing homework and tracking progress between meetings.

Common methods he uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, psycho‑educational work, client‑centered methods, and solution‑focused strategies. These are used to address symptoms, build coping skills, and reduce episodes of overwhelming emotion such as anger and intense stress.

In therapy sessions he emphasizes collaboration and practical goals. People who want concrete tools for managing anger, improving mood, or changing harmful patterns will find a direct, task‑oriented style. To begin, clients complete an intake and set clear goals together with the counselor.
