About Danny
Danny Hicks Jr is a licensed professional clinical counselor with eight years of experience. He focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and addiction. He speaks English and practices in California while holding licensure in Minnesota as well.
Danny uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what matters to them and move toward it. He adapts the pace and style of sessions to each person's needs. He treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and aims to make the work feel practical and relevant.
In sessions he helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and then practices small shifts that lead to clearer choices. That can mean learning new ways to manage intense feelings, building skills for better communication, or addressing avoidance and impulse cycles. He draws on methods that combine thoughts, behavior, and emotion so clients can try tools between meetings.
Danny also supports people dealing with money and financial issues alongside other life concerns. He helps clients talk through the stress around finances, plan steps that feel doable, and reduce the shame or anxiety that often comes with money problems.
His approach is collaborative: he and the client shape goals, try out strategies, and adjust what isn’t working. The aim is steady progress toward a clearer sense of purpose, healthier patterns, and more manageable day-to-day living.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning; it can help with anxiety, depression, and impulse struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and trusting others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that match the client’s needs. Sessions are collaborative - clients and the therapist test tools, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. It can reduce commute time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting so people can practice skills between meetings and carry changes into daily routines.
