Danielle R Brady

Danielle R Brady is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Dakota with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her work also includes support for trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life changes. She uses a mix of practical conversation and focused therapeutic tools. Sessions look at thoughts, emotions, and everyday habits that affect how people feel. Danielle draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential ideas, Jungian perspectives, and Mindfulness to guide the work. Her style is straightforward. She listens and adjusts the direction of sessions to match what the person says is most pressing. This can mean working on coping skills, communication patterns, or decisions about relationships and parenting. Danielle also addresses specific concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, and family of origin problems. She has experience with grief, divorce and separation, fertility concerns, and stress related to first responder roles or natural and human-caused disasters. Clients who value clear discussion about next steps and practical strategies may find this approach useful. The first meetings typically focus on identifying the most immediate problems and deciding which techniques to use moving forward.

How approaches like CBT and mindfulness translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can name what matters and decide next steps. It helps when someone feels stuck and needs a clear, respectful conversation about options.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and uses short exercises to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help when stress or rumination gets in the way of everyday decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and what they want to try. That decision can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or remove travel time so therapy fits around work or family tasks. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and the style of session desired.
