About Danny
Danny Hicks Jr uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people feel more able to handle life’s challenges. He is a licensed professional clinical counselor - LPCC - with eight years of experience. He listens without judgment and works with each person to set clear, doable goals.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also addresses problems that often come with those concerns, such as guilt and shame, isolation, attachment issues, and difficulty communicating.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual. Danny blends approaches like acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioral skills, and client-centered care. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, clarify personal values, and practice small behavior changes between sessions.
He also draws on techniques useful for strong emotions and impulsivity. People can expect a supportive, straightforward style. Dialog is tailored to practical steps and real-life goals.
The aim is to build skills that make daily life more manageable and meaningful. He holds licenses in California and Minnesota and works in English. His practice supports international clients and offers multiple online formats to fit different needs.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule sessions that match availability.
Approach-Focused Online Care for Real-Life Problems
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and behavior.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals and daily reality, adjusting strategies as needs change. That way, sessions stay practical and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or people prefer voice-only, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or updates between appointments. These options help people build skills and stay consistent even with busy schedules.
