Danny Hicks Jr is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with eight years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. He speaks English and is licensed in California and Minnesota.

He uses a mix of practical approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation and paced to match how they prefer to work.

His background includes helping people manage mood concerns, impulse control, and isolation. He also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and financial or life purpose worries. Communication problems, control issues, and challenges around divorce or forgiveness are part of his experience too.

Danny aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. He helps clients identify patterns that cause distress and build practical strategies to change them. He encourages steady steps and celebrates small improvements along the way.

Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. He will create a plan that fits an individual’s needs and adjust it as progress is made. Those interested can expect a straightforward, supportive approach focused on real-world skills and clearer decision making.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive patterns. It teaches skills you can practice between sessions to manage mood and stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and choose actions that align with their values. This approach is useful for chronic worries, avoidance, and life purpose questions.

Attachment-Based therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and how they shape current behavior. It can help with abandonment, communication problems, and building more secure ways of relating to others.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice can change over time as progress is made and different skills are needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and teaching skills, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text offer quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to use therapy in ways that fit work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
