About Danny
Danny Maggard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques. He draws on five years of counseling experience and a long background in emergency services to help people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. Danny views therapy as a team effort.
He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them use their strengths to make change. Sessions emphasize clear goals, doable homework, and steady follow-through rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
His background includes work in emergency services as a firefighter and in law enforcement, and several years providing individual and group care at a correctional treatment setting. That experience shaped his approach to crisis intervention, behavioral work, and structured therapy plans. Danny commonly helps people dealing with anger, addiction, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.
He also supports concerns such as impulse control, first responder stress, body image, and problems related to money and career. He uses brief, goal-focused methods to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. In sessions people can expect direct, practical strategies such as thinking-pattern work, solution-focused planning, and skill practice between meetings.
The aim is steady progress through concrete steps and regular check-ins. He works in English and provides online formats including video, phone, chat, and messaging.

How evidence-based methods translate online
Two of the main approaches used are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on immediate goals and small practical steps to change daily routines and reach short-term aims.Another commonly used method is Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a trusting partnership so clients can decide what to focus on. Together the therapist and client will choose which techniques fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels workable and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and processing emotions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support, or when a written format helps organize thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
