About Danelle
Danelle Locklear is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strains, and ADHD. She focuses on what each person can do next rather than on labels. Conversations are practical and goal-directed, so parents and individuals can see small steps that lead to change.
Danelle draws on a client-centered way of working that treats people with respect and curiosity.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Mindfulness and brief solution-focused methods are used to build coping skills and clear next steps. Clients can expect simple, direct strategies for sleep, eating, anger, and impulsivity.
She also supports people confronting trauma, grief, chronic illness, and substance challenges. Sessions aim to translate insights into day-to-day routines that feel doable. With five years of clinical experience and a longer history in school social work and substance services, she brings both practical know-how and calm listening.
She tailors goals to each person’s situation and adjusts methods when needed. Danelle works in English and offers sessions in formats that fit different lives. The focus is on realistic progress, stronger communication, and clearer choices.
People who want steady, hands-on support often find this approach helpful.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work starts by listening closely to what matters most to the person. It focuses on strengths, choices, and building goals that feel achievable in daily life, which fits well with talk-based video or phone sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replace them with practical skills. This approach is useful for anxiety, sleep issues, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and habit change, and it adapts easily to worksheets, chat-based check-ins, and brief phone coaching.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Short daily practices and guided exercises can be assigned between sessions and reviewed over chat or during calls.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, and will shift strategies when something isn’t working.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or homework sharing. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into life.
