About Danielle

Danielle R Brady is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Dakota with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and other life changes. Danielle also lists coaching and compassion fatigue among her focuses, and she offers help around ADHD-related struggles and parenting questions.

Her approach centers on listening and adapting to what each person brings. She uses client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the individual. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Danielle is familiar with deeper themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, family of origin problems, and forgiveness. She also addresses concerns like body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the effects of trauma and abuse. First responder issues, fertility and coping with natural or human-caused disaster are also in her list of experience.

In practical terms she will talk through current difficulties and outline a plan that fits the person's goals. Sessions typically mix listening, reflection, and concrete strategies people can use between meetings. She frames the work around the client's needs and preferences rather than a fixed formula.

Danielle conducts sessions in English and works from her South Dakota licensure. For people considering therapy with her, she asks that you use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Danielle integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the therapist follows what the person says and prioritizes their concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and help people notice difficult emotions such as shame without immediately acting on them.

Figuring out the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Danielle will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together they decide what to try. That collaborative process helps choose which methods to use week to week and how to adjust strategies over time.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use these options to keep therapy consistent with daily life while focusing on the same therapeutic methods as in person.
