Danielle "Danie" Becknell , LCSW

Danielle "Danie" Becknell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana. Danie brings three years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. They aim to create a calm, direct space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and start making small changes.

Danie believes each person knows their story best. Sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the client. From there Danie works together with the person to set simple, achievable goals and to build on existing strengths.

Their approach centers on practical skills for everyday life. That can mean breaking down big problems into manageable steps, learning ways to reduce persistent worry, or practicing communication strategies for work and relationships. Danie also supports people dealing with grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and questions about sexuality and self-love.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style will likely find a good fit. Danie aims to be straightforward, warm, and nonjudgmental while helping clients try new ways of coping. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.

Clients meet with Danie through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire is completed.

Approaches and how online therapy fits your life

Two common approaches used in Danie’s work are skill-building and trauma-informed support. Skill-building focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions, such as managing worry, breaking tasks into smaller parts, and practicing clearer communication at work or home. Trauma-informed support places attention on safety and pacing, helping people name what happened and find ways to cope with upsetting memories or reactions.

Another helpful element is strengths-based work, which centers on identifying a person’s existing abilities and using those strengths to meet current goals. This approach can support self-esteem, life-purpose questions, and recovery from setbacks by turning small successes into momentum.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danie listens to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods as they go. Together they decide which techniques to try and review progress regularly so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different places, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
