Danny Hicks Jr

Danny Hicks Jr is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and depression. He works in California and brings eight years of experience to conversations about change. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring sessions to individual needs.

Danny uses practical, talk-based work that centers on the person in front of him. He adapts the pace and focus to what someone needs most, whether that means building coping skills, improving communication, or managing painful memories. Sessions are intended to help people take small, doable steps toward clearer goals.

He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to guide the work. Those tools are used to address patterns of thinking, emotional reactions, and relationship dynamics. The goal is to help people recognize what matters to them and act in ways that match those values.

Clients may also explore issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, control issues, divorce, forgiveness, guilt, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, money worries, and mood disorders. Danny aims to meet each person without judgment and to support practical problem solving.

He encourages people to take the first steps even when it feels difficult. Your conversations with him are meant to be collaborative, straightforward, and focused on making real changes that fit your life.

How his approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that reflect what matters most. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems that come from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and impulsive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people build clearer, safer ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, length, and whether certain sessions should focus on skills practice, emotional processing, or problem solving to match your day-to-day routine.
