About Danelle
Danelle Locklear is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and substance-related concerns. Her approach is practical and person-focused, aimed at helping people move past obstacles and toward everyday coping.
Locklear draws on five years listed clinical experience alongside many more years in school and community settings. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s strengths and priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques offer simple skills to reduce reactivity and ground attention in the moment. People working with her can expect short-term goals when those fit the need, and longer-term support when deeper change is the aim.
Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen readiness for change around habits and addictions. Solution-Focused strategies help set small, achievable steps that make daily life easier. Sessions may address a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, chronic illness, impulsivity, and career questions.
The focus is on practical tools that can be used between sessions. Danelle explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is most useful for each person. Her North Carolina license is listed as LCSW.
She offers services in English and does not take international clients. For people who prefer remote options, she provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

How approaches like CBT and Mindfulness work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and tailors sessions around what the individual says matters most, which helps when addressing anger or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and help someone notice urges before acting on them, which can be useful for impulsivity and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to test methods and adjust plans based on goals and what feels most useful. That collaborative stance makes it easier to try brief skills-focused work or a longer program depending on the concern.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people practice skills visually and have a fuller interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick access between sessions, help track progress, and allow written reminders of tools and steps. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives.
