About Danielle
Danielle Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and substance use concerns. She sees teens and adults and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. Danielle focuses on building a trusting space where people can speak honestly about feelings and experiences.
She brings 13 years of professional experience to sessions. Danielle trained at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and draws on several practical approaches to support change.
Background and approach
She often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing strong emotions and unhelpful thinking patterns. For people with trauma history, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing memories. Mindfulness strategies are mixed in to help clients notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing choices about substance use or other big life changes. In sessions Danielle focuses on short, clear goals and step-by-step plans that fit daily life. She emphasizes skill use between appointments so progress carries into real situations.
Her approach is collaborative - she listens first, then offers techniques that match each person’s needs. Therapy may address related concerns such as self-esteem, body image, workplace stress, relationship patterns, and grief around family of origin issues. Danielle encourages realistic, compassionate change and practical strategies people can use right away.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients set the pace and goals. This approach helps people feel heard and involved in decisions about their care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors through short exercises. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Decisions are made with the client's goals and preferences in mind so the plan fits daily life and feels workable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, written skills coaching, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills in real time.
