About Danielle
Danielle Patterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens facing trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Danielle also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and helps people who carry those feelings from relationships, faith, or past choices.
She trained at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. In sessions she draws mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). That means a mix of practical skills, emotion regulation techniques, and trauma-focused work when it fits the concern.
Danielle aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgment. She works with clients to identify patterns that keep painful feelings alive and to test small changes that can shift those patterns. Sessions often include learning concrete coping tools and practicing them between meetings.
For people carrying guilt or shame, she pays attention to how those emotions affect daily choices and relationships. The work may involve tracing where the belief began, challenging unhelpful self-judgments, and building steadier ways of relating to oneself.
Her approach blends structured skill-building with trauma-informed methods when needed. Danielle supports clients in taking gradual steps toward clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more manageable day-to-day routines.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone needs space to name worries or guilt without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and change routine responses, which can reduce repetitive shame-driven thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving how someone copes day to day.Choosing the right approach is something she does together with each person. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust based on what helps most. The plan is collaborative rather than fixed, so the approach can shift as needs change.
