About Danny
Danny Maggard is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, evidence-based work to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. He draws on five years of clinical counseling experience and a background in emergency services to offer calm, straightforward support. He keeps sessions conversational and goal-oriented.
People learn skills to reduce worry, manage stress, and handle strong emotions. Homework and specific tools are part of the process so progress continues between meetings.
Background and approach
Before counseling Danny spent over 20 years in emergency services as a firefighter, emergency manager, and law enforcement officer. He also provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, and case management at a correctional treatment center. That experience shapes his focus on clear communication and practical coping strategies.
Danny uses several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and brief solution-focused work. He centers the person in the room and treats them as the expert on their life while offering structure and skill-building exercises. Typical concerns he addresses include anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief, anger, and life transitions.
He also helps with career stress, impulsivity, isolation, and issues tied to aging and financial strain. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Danny holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is an LPC in Missouri.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Daniel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused techniques in plain, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking and teaches specific skills to change reactions and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution Focused work zeroes in on small, achievable steps and immediate goals to build momentum when life feels stuck.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan changes if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching skills that benefit from visual cues. Phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Text and live chat work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep progress steady.
