About Danielle

Danielle R Brady is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with 23 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues related to self-esteem, ADHD, intimacy, and life transitions.

Danielle uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques in sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses that to guide the work. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors, paying attention to present awareness, or exploring deeper personal meanings and patterns.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods that keep the client's perspective central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness-based work helps people notice reactions and choose responses instead of reacting automatically.

Danielle also brings existential and Jungian ideas into the room to address questions of meaning, identity, and long-standing patterns from family of origin. In practice this can include talking about commitment and abandonment issues, communication problems, body image, and forgiveness.

Sessions are focused and practical. Danielle helps people develop coping strategies for everyday life and for big changes like separation or loss. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session that fits their needs.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client's perspective. It helps people feel heard and lets the therapist and client set goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can reduce reactivity and support managing stress and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will adjust methods over time and try different techniques until a good fit is found.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also work better for lower bandwidth or when a person prefers not to be on camera. These practical benefits can help make therapy a manageable part of everyday life.
