About Danelle

Danelle Locklear is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, ADHD, and other life disruptions.

Background and approach

With a practical, strengths-oriented stance she emphasizes clients' abilities and supports them in setting and reaching realistic goals tailored to their circumstances. Her background includes years of social work and clinical practice that inform a compassionate, individualized approach.

She draws on evidence-informed methods such as Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques to address issues like coping with life changes, grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and substance-related problems.

Danelle brings five years of documented clinical experience as an LCSW and additional long-term experience in school-based social work and substance use services, which shapes a practical understanding of family and community dynamics. Prospective clients can expect collaborative treatment planning that prioritizes their goals and adapts interventions to fit real-world needs.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each person's strengths and goals; it helps clients feel heard and fosters self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and building internal motivation, often helpful for substance-related concerns and habit change.

Determining the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, tries approaches that match their needs, and adjusts plans based on what proves helpful. Together they evaluate progress and select techniques that fit the client's preferences and life circumstances.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in timing and communication style, allowing clients to choose what feels most practical and effective for engaging in the work.
