About Danny
Danny Hicks Jr is a licensed professional counselor in California with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. Danny aims to meet people where they are and speak in a direct, respectful way that feels approachable.
He blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people understand how emotions and close bonds shape their reactions.
Background and approach
He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to build practical skills for coping and change. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that fit everyday life. Danny shapes each plan around a person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Conversations tend to focus on identifying patterns, naming difficult emotions, and practicing new ways of responding. He encourages short-term strategies alongside deeper work on recurring issues like abandonment, guilt, or isolation. People may bring concerns about chronic pain, caregiver stress, money problems, or trouble communicating with others.
Danny also supports work on forgiveness, impulsivity, and finding life purpose. His style centers on respect, patience, and practical next steps so progress feels manageable. Therapy can include talk, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness or acceptance exercises.
Sessions happen in formats that fit modern life, and Danny helps clients decide which approach and pace suit their goals.

Online support
Using emotion-focused and acceptance approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings shape their reactions. In short-term work this can reduce reactivity and make choices feel clearer. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match personal values. Together these methods can help with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and trauma-related reactions.Danny will work with clients to find the right mix of approaches. Deciding which method fits is a collaborative process based on your goals, comfort level, and life demands. He starts by listening to what matters most, then suggests practical steps and exercises to try between sessions so progress continues outside appointments.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or quick skills practice. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or travel without losing continuity of care.
