About Danny
Danny Hicks Jr is an LPCC licensed in California and Minnesota with eight years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, control issues, divorce, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, money worries, and mood concerns.
Danny uses practical talk and structured techniques rather than medical jargon. He adapts conversations and interventions to the person in front of him. Sessions typically focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and on small, doable changes that shift how they respond to hard feelings.
He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and move toward them, and attachment-informed ideas to repair how people relate after hurt. He also uses skills from dialectical behavior approaches for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when things feel overwhelming.
Danny emphasizes steady, clear pacing in sessions. Expect direct questions, reflection, and concrete practice between meetings. He helps people talk through painful topics such as guilt or shame without avoiding the detail that matters.
People seeking help for relationship wounds, lingering shame, or recurring anxiety will find a clinician who combines evidence-informed techniques with straightforward conversation.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for persistent guilt, anxiety, or when someone feels stuck and wants clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and patterns that keep someone replaying the same mistakes or regrets.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping. This can be helpful when guilt or shame is tied to abandonment, trust, or recurring relational conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick or blend methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress or challenges arise so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the specific session options before booking because formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find online meetings make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and reduce commute time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to match daily life and the kinds of support wanted.
