About Danielle
Danielle Larson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Illinois who focuses on practical, emotion-focused work. She centers sessions on what a person needs right now and helps them regain balance when anger, stress, or anxiety feel overwhelming. She builds an accepting, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard feelings.
Danielle uses straightforward techniques to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that feel doable between appointments.
Background and approach
Her background includes 11 years of clinical experience across mood concerns, addiction, and trauma. Danielle draws on a mix of therapies to tailor each plan. That mix helps when problems involve relationships, work stress, grief, or long-standing family patterns.
Common themes she addresses are anger, communication problems, impulsivity, and shame. She also works with people facing life changes, parenting stress, or hospice and end-of-life concerns. Conversations focus on skills people can use right away and changes they notice over time.
Danielle is fluent in English and practices from Illinois as an LCSW. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and managing strong emotions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values even when feelings are intense. It is useful for chronic worry, avoidance, and getting stuck in unhelpful cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce reactivity and change patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and emphasizes empathy and respect to build trust and clarity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate to decide whether ACT, CBT, client-centered methods, or a mix fits best. She tailors techniques to the person's goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to sessions so the plan feels realistic and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls let therapists watch body language and teach skills in real time, while phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth choice for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework prompts, or step-by-step skill reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to practice new responses to anger and stress when they come up.
