About Danielle
Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who draws on practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing relationship and parenting challenges. She brings 23 years of outpatient experience to sessions, combining clear problem-solving with a kind, interactive style.
Danielle is licensed in Alabama as an AL LICSW 4812c and in South Carolina as a SC LISW-CP 14396, and practices from North Carolina. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Danielle uses several proven approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Danielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and act on their values.
She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy where skills training and emotional connection are needed. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth.
Danielle aims to treat people with dignity and respect while keeping plans realistic and focused on change. Conversations are collaborative and adjusted to what the individual or parent needs most. Clients often come for help with communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, abandonment and adoption-related concerns.
Danielle blends coaching elements with therapy to support coping with life changes and to build concrete skills.
Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support
Danielle often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with parenting stress and life transitions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and teaches concrete strategies to change them for anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT provides clear skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactivity in stressful family moments. The therapist and client work together to find which approach or mix of approaches fits the client’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. These formats make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, practice skills between sessions, and keep therapy consistent during life changes. Licensed professionals guide the process and adapt methods so the work remains practical and focused even when done remotely.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
