Danielle R Brady, LCPC, LPC

Danielle R Brady is a licensed counselor in South Dakota who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She is an LCPC and an LPC with 23 years of experience. Danielle talks with people about stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.

She uses a direct but compassionate style. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs in that moment. Danielle helps clients name patterns, practice new skills, and set realistic goals for change.

Her background includes long experience supporting people after trauma, loss, and major life changes. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and client-centered approaches are used to build awareness and strengthen coping.

Danielle also brings perspectives from existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, values, and identity. Those approaches can help when someone is wrestling with emptiness, attachment questions, or commitment doubts.

People who work with Danielle can expect clear, respectful conversation and practical steps between sessions. The work often covers communication problems, codependency, parenting strain, first responder stress, and challenges around fertility or family of origin. Danielle encourages small, steady changes and supports people as they try those changes in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. The therapist mirrors concerns, asks open questions, and helps people identify their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danielle will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a place with fewer distractions. Licensed professionals can use video or audio to maintain the conversational focus and to practice skills between sessions.
