About Danielle
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 13 years of experience, Danielle Patterson helps teens and adults who have faced difficult life events. She focuses on trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and substance use. Danielle also supports people navigating LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
Danielle trained at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. She uses practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Sessions typically involve learning coping skills, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing new ways to respond to stress.
Her approach centers on listening first and working collaboratively. She helps clients identify immediate problems, set manageable goals, and practice specific skills between sessions. When trauma symptoms are a focus, she may use EMDR techniques to address distress linked to past events.
Danielle also addresses issues that often accompany mental health concerns, such as family of origin dynamics, guilt and shame, eating and food-related problems, and workplace stress. She integrates mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Sessions are organized to be straightforward and actionable. Clients can expect a mix of skill practice, reflective discussion, and measurable steps toward coping better in daily life.

How therapeutic methods translate to remote sessions
Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which translates well to remote sessions through structured exercises and between-session practice. EMDR involves guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to address trauma-related symptoms and can be adapted for remote use with clear step-by-step guidance.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills training teaches concrete tools for managing intense emotions and can be practiced during remote sessions with homework and in-session coaching. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will help determine what fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences over the first few meetings.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Practical matters such as quiet surroundings, camera use, and session length can be discussed and adjusted to suit everyday life and treatment goals.
