Danielle Bonner

Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with more than 23 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Her approach aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles in straightforward ways.

Danielle blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts, choose helpful actions, and build new skills. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional regulation and attachment patterns are central to the work.

Her background includes long-term outpatient work, facilitation of DBT groups, and life coaching. Over two decades she has supported people coping with depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She has also helped those facing grief, parenting stress, and complicated relationship issues.

Sessions tend to be interactive and down to earth. Danielle aims to treat people with dignity and respect while keeping treatment focused and practical. She collaborates with each person to shape goals and adjust methods as needed.

To begin, she asks about what feels most urgent and what skills the person wants to build. That information guides a tailored plan that connects clear tools to everyday life challenges.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to ease symptoms like depression and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense emotions and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Danielle will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and what feels most usable day to day. Together they shape a plan and adjust methods as progress is made.
