About Danielle
Danielle (Danni) Helms helps people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, eating concerns, and issues related to ADHD. She also supports people working through codependency, dissociation, domestic violence aftermath, emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions. Danni writes straightforwardly and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Danni uses conversation, goal-setting, and skills practice to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
She adapts plans to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions move at a pace the client feels comfortable with, and the focus is on small, achievable changes. With nine years of clinical experience, Danni brings steady guidance and hands-on strategies.
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential - LCMHC. Her practice is based in South Carolina and she offers services in English. People can expect a mix of talk, skill-building, and practical assignments between sessions when that fits their goals.
Danni draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior tools to manage intense emotions, and client-centered listening to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Her style is warm and direct. She helps people set clear steps, test what works, and adjust plans as needed.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm and build routines that support stability and growth.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person seeking help. It creates space for people to say what they need, and the therapist adapts the pace and topics to those priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It is useful for people who struggle with strong mood swings, overwhelming feelings, or self-harm urges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then choose methods that fit. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is close to an in-person visit, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, or travel.
