About Danelle
Danelle Locklear is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people dealing with anxiety and stress. She speaks in plain terms and focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day life. She listens first to understand what is most bothering a person.
Then she works with them to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are aimed at building skills for coping, managing emotions, and improving relationships. Her background includes five years of clinical experience as an LCSW and many additional years in related social work roles.
Background and approach
That experience has included work with substance use concerns, grief, trauma, mood concerns, and communication problems. This range shapes how she adapts her approach to each person. Danelle uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing among other approaches.
She draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns and test new ways of coping. People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process that balances practical tools with attention to values and goals. Her aim is to help people move past obstacles and toward clearer next steps.
Sessions are offered in English and are arranged to match each person’s needs.
How therapies like CBT and mindfulness work online
Danelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, then trying small experiments to change them. It is useful for worry, panic, sleep problems, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches parents and individuals simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety and anger.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. In early sessions she will talk with the person about goals, try out approaches, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to real-life needs and preferences rather than following a single formula.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for working through exercises and keeping visual connection. Phone calls work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or sending updates between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
