About Danielle

Dr. Danielle Hurt welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck and who want practical help to move forward. She writes plainly and listens first.

She focuses on building on a person’s strengths and helping them take small, useful steps toward change. Danielle holds the LPCC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and she brings 12 years of professional experience to her work. She approaches sessions as a collaborative process.

Background and approach

Conversations start with what matters most to the client and then move toward clear goals. Techniques come from several evidence-based methods, using straightforward tools to manage stress, anxiety, grief, or anger. Danielle emphasizes skills that can be used between meetings so progress continues outside the room.

In practice she helps people make sense of life changes and pressure points. She offers coaching-style guidance for career questions and support for improving self-worth and intimacy concerns. Trauma-informed methods are available when past events get in the way of present life.

Danielle tailors pacing and techniques to each person. She avoids jargon and explains strategies in plain language. Sessions are meant to feel practical and focused on real problems that show up day to day.

Based in Kentucky, Danielle works with clients who value direct, compassionate guidance and an approach rooted in respect for each person’s story. She aims to help people find clearer choices and restore a sense of control over their next steps.

Approaches that fit online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. It emphasizes the client’s own goals and choices, which helps when sorting out parenting stress, relationship concerns, or self-worth issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those priorities. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. These formats make it easier to schedule around busy days and to keep momentum between meetings. For many people, online care offers the flexibility to use practical tools in daily life while keeping therapy consistent.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
