About Danielle
Danielle Bonner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 23 years of experience in outpatient mental health. She practices in North Carolina and lists a wide range of concerns she addresses, including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.
Her background includes roles as an outpatient therapist, a DBT facilitator, and a life coach. Over two decades she has supported people facing substance use concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and the effects of intimate partner violence and childhood abuse and neglect. She also notes work with caregiving stress, blended family issues, and adoption and foster care related matters.
Danielle uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered techniques. In practice this looks like focusing on emotions that are hard to name, clarifying patterns in relationships, and pairing that with skills for coping and behavior change.
Sessions are described as interactive and realistic, with dialogue shaped to the person’s situation. She combines practical skill work with reflective conversation to address current problems and recurring patterns. Her stated aim is to treat people with dignity and respect while adjusting plans as needs evolve.
Danielle lists work across many specific topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, anger, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. For language needs she offers sessions in English only.
How Danielle integrates EFT, ACT and skills work into online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with strong, often unspoken emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It helps people name feelings, see the cycles they get pulled into, and try different responses to change those cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and taking committed steps toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practice to shift unhelpful patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit the concerns, goals, and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. It can also let people use therapy during a lunch break or from another location where quiet is easier. Licensed professionals can combine emotion-focused conversation with ACT or CBT skill practice during virtual appointments to keep progress practical and relevant.
