About Danielle
Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 23 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and depression among her core areas. Young adult issues are included in her focus. She works with people facing trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD and a range of other life stresses.
Her style is practical and interactive. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steady steps rather than vague talk. She draws on cognitive-behavioral methods alongside acceptance and mindfulness-informed ideas to help people notice thoughts and try different actions. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Danielle also uses client-centered and emotionally focused approaches to help people feel heard and to improve important relationships. She has experience as a DBT facilitator and as a life coach, which informs a skills-oriented way of working. That background is often useful for people juggling work, school and new adulthood responsibilities.
Her practice includes support for trauma related to intimate partner violence and childhood abuse or neglect. She helps people manage complex problems such as co-occurring conditions, codependency, attachment issues and grief after loss. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier routines.
For young adults this can mean talking through first jobs, relationship stress, money worries, identity questions and feeling behind. To begin, she asks people to set specific goals and to try tools between sessions so change feels practical and trackable.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with personal values. It can help when life changes or uncertainty leave someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns that sustain anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods with each person and decide collaboratively which tools to try first, then adjust based on what helps most. That means sessions can blend skill-building, values work and focused problem-solving as needed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It also supports continuing therapy across school, work and relocation changes without having to pause progress.
