About Danny

Danny Hicks Jr is an LPCC licensed in California and Minnesota with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also helps people who are struggling with life purpose, attachment and abandonment concerns, and mood or impulse difficulties.

Danny uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice what matters to them. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that get in the way and trying small, workable changes between meetings.

People working with him may address issues like money stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, or isolation. He also helps with communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, and the fallout from separation or divorce. The work often mixes skills practice with talking through painful memories or reactions.

Danny frames a plan around each person's goals and current life demands. He aims for straightforward tools that can fit into a busy week and for conversations that clarify priorities. He supports clients as they test changes and notice what helps them move forward.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted, and logistics such as session format and scheduling are confirmed during the initial matching and intake steps.

How his therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them, while making space for difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when someone feels directionless or stuck after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills for managing mood and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. Danny collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. He adapts exercises and conversations so they fit what a client wants to address and how they prefer to work.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce the need to travel. It also supports continuing work across geographic distances for international clients. The focus remains practical: aligning methods with goals and building skills that can be used between sessions.
