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 helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, and trauma-related concerns.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered listening to help people make small, useful changes in day-to-day life.
Danielle has long experience with a broad range of difficulties. She has supported people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. She has also worked with those affected by intimate partner violence, child abuse and neglect, and other trauma-related problems.
In the room she uses interactive methods. That can mean identifying specific thoughts that keep someone stuck, testing beliefs with small experiments, and practicing new responses between sessions. She may also use emotion-focused steps when relationship feelings are central and DBT skills for managing intense emotions.
She frames therapy as a series of practical steps rather than abstract talks. Sessions often include goal-setting, short exercises, and clear next steps to try at home.

How CBT and related approaches work in remote sessions
CBT is a direct, skills-based approach that helps identify specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or anxiety. Work often includes brief in-session exercises and homework to test new ways of responding to problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing what matters most and making choices that match values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving people space to lead the discussion while the therapist reflects and clarifies concerns.Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. They use that information to decide whether CBT, ACT, or a different method fits best, and they adjust the plan as the client tries things and reports back.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that having structured exercises and homework works well with remote sessions, and the therapist will suggest practical ways to use sessions so they fit into everyday life.
