About Danelle
Danelle Locklear is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years listed experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and a range of related concerns. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating struggles, ADHD, and career or midlife transitions.
Locklear uses a person-centered stance that focuses on a person’s strengths and abilities rather than labels. She discusses goals with each person and picks practical steps that fit their situation. Sessions often include clear, skill-based work alongside conversational reflection.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice physical and emotional signals in the moment. Motivational Interviewing supports commitment to change when substances, habits, or motivation are a problem.
Clients can expect short-term problem-solving and longer work when needed. Locklear has a background in school social work and in substance abuse services, which shapes how she frames family and addiction concerns. She aims to help people reduce overwhelm, manage impulses, and improve communication with others.
Practical topics commonly addressed include managing anger without harming relationships, coping with work stress, handling resentment that builds over time, and reducing impulsive reactions. She encourages clear goals, regular check-ins, and straightforward practice between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what the person wants to work on, such as anger or relationship tension. This approach helps people feel understood while setting clear goals and steps for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that uphold anger, anxiety, or low mood. It uses short, practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices that help notice bodily cues and urges before acting on them, useful for impulse control and stress reduction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix styles and adjust over time based on progress and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking.
