About Danielle

Danielle Nielson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri who focuses on helping people manage stressors that reduce daily functioning, including ADHD and a wide range of mood and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She brings a practical, strengths-based attitude to sessions and prioritizes helping clients identify the triggers that interfere with well-being so they can develop concrete skills for managing those challenges.

Her background includes work in foster care, domestic violence services, and outpatient mental health, and she completed a BSW at Missouri Western State University and an MSW from Park University before finishing clinical supervision in 2020.

With five years of post-licensure experience, Danielle uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. She aims to form a collaborative partnership with clients so goals are realistic, measurable, and aligned with their values.

Outside of work she balances parenting responsibilities as a single mother and often draws on literature and storytelling as ways to open conversation and explore meaning. Her approach is warm and client-centered, oriented toward practical change and steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Danielle often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and building psychological flexibility, helping clients tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Danielle treats it as a collaborative exploration. She will discuss options with each client, weigh their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so treatment stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and needs. These formats allow clients to access care from different locations, fit sessions around work or family responsibilities, and continue steady progress even when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor pacing, homework, and check-ins to fit each client's life.
