About Danny
Danny Hicks Jr is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. He draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and depression. Conversations are direct and respectful, and he aims to make the first steps toward change feel achievable.
As an LPCC licensed in California and Minnesota, he builds a plan around each person’s needs. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and offers simple skills to try between sessions.
Background and approach
Expect straightforward goals, short-term tools, and time to talk through what matters most to you. He often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early relationship patterns show up now. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away. Homework is short and tailored, not overwhelming.
He balances problem-solving with space for feeling and understanding what brought someone in. Danny respects each person’s pace and background. He emphasizes collaboration and clear expectations about goals and progress.
If someone wants to try something different, he adjusts the plan to fit that person’s changing needs.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear on what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult emotions. It focuses on practical steps and learning to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and strategies, and it helps people build different ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist treats it as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try interventions for a few sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the therapy fits how someone actually lives and what they want to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving routines.
