About Danny
Danny Hicks Jr is a licensed professional clinical counselor with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Background and approach
Danny aims to meet clients where they are and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. He uses approaches such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape sessions.
He adapts the conversation and plan to fit each person's goals and life circumstances. Sessions tend to be practical and grounded in everyday life rather than long academic explanations.
Danny pays attention to how past experiences and attachment patterns show up now. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Work may include building emotional awareness, practicing new communication habits, and making small behavior changes that add up over time. People often bring concerns such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, control issues, divorce or separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, money worries, and questions about life purpose.
Danny will tailor the pace and focus to those concerns while keeping sessions straightforward and action oriented. He is licensed in California and Minnesota as an LPCC and offers services in English.
Danny supports international clients and provides a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match those values despite difficult feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want more meaningful direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize repeating habits in relationships and try different ways of connecting and responding.Danny works collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. He will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan with the client so the work fits their needs and preferences. Figuring out which approach feels most helpful is part of the therapy process rather than a fixed decision up front.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
