About Danny
Danny Hicks Jr is an LPCC licensed in California and Minnesota with eight years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Danny uses clear, structured approaches and practical conversation to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that feed worry and low mood. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when they fit the issue at hand.
In a typical session he listens to what is most pressing, then helps set small, concrete steps to test different ways of responding. Tasks between sessions are common so people can practice new skills in everyday life. The work focuses on what the person can try now, not only on talking about the past.
Danny aims to address related problems that often come up alongside core concerns. These include abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, money and financial stress, and mood disorders.
He blends client-centered listening with skills-based methods such as CBT and DBT techniques. The result is a direct, step-oriented approach that helps people test changes, track progress, and adjust plans over time.
Using CBT, ACT, and attachment ideas in online work
Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts, rehearsing alternatives, and trying brief experiments to see what changes in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and clarifying personal values to guide action. ACT is useful when avoidance and worry block meaningful moves forward. Attachment-based methods look at how early relationship patterns shape how people relate now and help identify ways to build safer connections and clearer boundaries.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. This is collaborative: methods can be adjusted based on what helps most in practice.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel, and let people try brief check-ins when useful. Some therapeutic tasks translate well to video or phone, while others focus on short homework between meetings to build new habits.
