Danielle Bonner , LICSW, LISW-CP

Danielle Bonner is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience providing outpatient therapy, DBT facilitation, and life coaching. She holds the credentials LICSW and LISW-CP, reflecting advanced social work licensure that authorizes clinical practice at an independent level. Danielle is licensed to practice in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama, and she has spent more than two decades helping people navigate a wide range of concerns.

Her clinical work has addressed depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, substance use concerns, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and ADHD. She has also supported many individuals who have experienced trauma, including intimate partner violence and child abuse and neglect. Danielle brings a realistic, kind, and interactive counseling style to sessions, and she emphasizes treating every person with dignity and respect.

Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with solution-focused, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods, allowing her to adapt conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. Danielle customizes therapeutic dialogue and goals to fit individual circumstances and preferences. She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to engage in thoughtful, practical, and compassionate care.

Integrating Evidence-Informed Approaches with Online Care

Danielle often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that are useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she employs, helping people clarify their values and build meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. Danielle works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she tailors the therapeutic approach and plan accordingly so that treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those seeking care from licensed professionals. Video calls and phone sessions allow for live conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide more immediate, shorter-form options between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limits, and maintain continuity of care across life changes.
