About Danielle Nielson
Danielle Nielson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri who helps people build skills to manage triggers and improve their quality of life. She earned a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Missouri Western State University in 2013 and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Park University in 2015, and completed clinical supervision in 2020 to meet the requirements for independent clinical practice.
Her social work background includes roles in foster care, domestic violence services, and outpatient mental health, giving her experience with a wide range of family and trauma-related concerns. Danielle previously worked a traditional 8 to 5 outpatient schedule and noticed how scheduling can exclude many people from consistent care. Offering online services through a virtual therapy service has allowed her to reach individuals who struggle to attend sessions during standard work hours.
As a single mother of two, Danielle brings an understanding of the demands of balancing work, parenting, and self-care. She also enjoys reading and often uses stories and literature as entry points for reflection and healing, finding that art can mirror life in useful ways.
Danielle uses a warm, strengths-based approach and draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused techniques. She works collaboratively with people to identify patterns that interfere with well-being and to develop practical strategies for change. Danielle is accepting new clients, including international clients, and provides services in English.
