About Danelle
Danelle Locklear is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people work through stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, grief, and other life challenges. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build on what already works for each person.
Danelle draws on a person-centered approach, meeting people where they are and listening first. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and from motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, sleep, and impulse control.
Her background includes many years in school social work and substance use support, and five years of clinical practice as a licensed social worker. That mix brings experience with a wide range of concerns, from addiction and trauma to parenting strain and chronic health issues. The LCSW credential is noted as Licensed Clinical Social Worker for clarity.
In sessions, Danelle focuses on what a person needs now and on steps they can try between meetings. She works with practical goals like improving sleep, managing anger, or reducing substance use urges. Progress is tracked through small, measurable changes.
People who want straightforward, strength-focused work may find this approach helpful. The therapist encourages collaborative planning so goals match each person’s life and daily obligations.
How approaches like CBT and mindfulness translate online
Danelle uses a person-centered foundation alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens first and adapts to what the person needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lower stress and help with impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and practical constraints and then recommend a mix of techniques. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and adjust plans as progress is made.
