About Danny

Danny Hicks Jr is a licensed professional clinical counselor with eight years of experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. He treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

He shapes conversations and plans to fit what a person actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking to help manage day-to-day struggles. He listens for patterns in relationships, mood, and behavior to identify what gets in the way of change.

Danny blends several evidence-informed approaches when helping people work through problems. He uses techniques that build emotional awareness, improve coping skills, and encourage action consistent with personal values. This mix of methods supports work on mood, impulsivity, and difficult relationship patterns.

He has practiced in both California and Minnesota and brings eight years of clinical experience to his work. People who connect with him are offered a collaborative process that respects their pace and priorities. The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and more manageable daily life.

If you are weighing whether to try therapy, he invites you to take the first step. He supports people through the early decisions and helps them move toward more fulfilling routines and relationships.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people notice and change interacting habits that cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danny will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He mixes methods as needed and checks in to make sure the plan fits the client's needs.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people continue care if they move or live far from local services. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-focused work to an online setting through talk, exercises, and at-home practice assignments.
