About Danny
Danny Maggard is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who emphasizes practical, evidence-based work. He draws on five years of counseling experience and a background in emergency services to help people manage anxiety, grief, addiction, and life transitions. He frames therapy as a partnership.
Clients set goals and bring their lived knowledge. Danny offers clear, goal-focused sessions where people learn skills, try homework between meetings, and track small changes over time.
Background and approach
His day-to-day work has included individual and group sessions, crisis intervention, and treatment planning. That experience came alongside roles in firefighting, emergency management, and law enforcement. Those years shaped his focus on stress, first responder issues, and trauma-related concerns.
Danny uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, solution-focused strategies, and accelerated resolution methods. He explains ideas plainly and helps people apply them to real situations, like facing phobias, managing mood swings, or addressing substance use. Sessions can include coaching-style conversations, skills practice, and problem-solving about finances, career shifts, or midlife changes.
He also supports people through grief, isolation, and questions of life purpose. Based in Missouri, Danny meets with people in English through a range of online formats. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can start with clear goals and a plan.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Therapy often uses clear techniques that people can apply between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior through small experiments and practice; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and phobias. Solution-Focused work concentrates on specific goals and quick steps forward, which can be helpful when someone wants practical change in areas like career, finances, or coping with life transitions. Accelerated resolution methods aim to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories by using guided imagery and reprocessing techniques to change how memories are experienced.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Clients and the therapist decide together what helps and adjust the plan as progress is observed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Text and live chat allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
