About Danny
Danny Maggard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. He brings five years of counseling experience alongside a long career in emergency services. Danny focuses on practical help for concerns like addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and career stress.
Danny draws on straightforward, evidence-based methods and treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings, clear goals, and steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
How Danny works
He encourages accountability and homework when it helps progress. Before counseling, Danny spent over 20 years in emergency services as a firefighter and in law enforcement and emergency management. He also provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, and treatment planning in a correctional and addiction treatment setting.
That background shapes a practical, solutions-oriented style. He works with a wide range of concerns including drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, bipolar disorder, anger and stress, and issues around life transitions. He also offers support for topics such as isolation, men’s issues, body image, and financial stress.
Sessions may include teaching coping skills, reviewing behavior patterns, processing traumatic memories, and setting measurable goals. His approach is collaborative: the person and therapist decide what fits best and then put that plan into action.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Danny often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Sessions teach practical skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and coping strategies that can be practiced between meetings.He also uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a brief trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. This approach can be useful for post-traumatic stress and intense memories that interfere with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh options, match techniques to goals, and adjust methods over time based on what produces progress. This collaborative planning helps keep therapy focused and relevant.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity of care.
