About Danielle

Danielle Patterson is a licensed professional counselor in Arkansas with 13 years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and challenges with self-esteem and body image.

Background and approach

She blends practical, skills-based work with empathic listening to guide clients through life transitions, coping with stress, and healing from past wounds. Danielle emphasizes collaboration and supports clients in building concrete strategies for managing difficult thoughts, urges, and emotions.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques alongside EMDR and mindfulness practices when appropriate. Trained at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, she creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore patterns, practice new coping skills, and work toward measurable change.

Danielle recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and aims to meet each person where they are while encouraging growth through practical tools and thoughtful reflection.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danielle integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work to help clients develop practical skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support people facing strong emotions, relationship challenges, or urges related to addiction.

She also brings client-centered principles to virtual sessions, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so that the approach is tailored to each person. Determining the right combination of techniques is a shared process; the therapist works with clients to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences over time.

Online therapy with Danielle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life gets busy.
