About Danielle
Danielle Larson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois. She works with adults who are juggling stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting concerns. Danielle aims to make conversations simple and practical so people leave sessions with clear next steps.
Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and a client-centered stance. She uses these methods to help people notice what matters to them, shift unhelpful thinking, and practice new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on small, doable changes rather than big overhauls. Danielle draws on eleven years of experience. That background shows up in straightforward skills for coping with depression, bipolar symptoms, impulse challenges, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses intimacy-related struggles, communication problems, and issues connected to family of origin and fatherhood concerns. People who come to her for parenting help get support for handling stress, setting boundaries, and managing emotions around caregiving. She offers practical strategies for calmer interactions and clearer routines.
Danielle also assists with substance use concerns and related motivation work. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, focused on what a client wants to change next. Conversations are collaborative and down-to-earth.
The aim is steady progress so daily life feels more manageable over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior and mood. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find solutions that feel right.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle will work with clients to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on practical steps chosen together rather than a one-size-fits-all recipe.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, sharing updates, or practicing skills between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
