Dr. Danielle Hurt

Dr. Danielle Hurt is a Kentucky licensed professional counselor clinician (LPCC) with 12 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them tackle stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting pressures, and self-doubt. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their life, and she aims to help clients reclaim a clearer sense of direction and agency.

She encourages clients to notice their strengths and use those strengths to handle hard moments. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals, not jargon. Danielle listens closely and works collaboratively to set priorities that feel meaningful to the individual.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills taught in dialectical behavior approaches. She also uses solution-focused and motivational techniques when the situation fits. These methods are applied in simple, everyday language so clients can practice new ways of coping between sessions.

Dr. Hurt has supported people through grief, relationship strain, career transitions, and trauma-related concerns, and she includes attention to women’s issues and young adult challenges when relevant. She also has experience with veteran and first responder concerns and ADHD-related struggles.

People who choose her often want a calm, straightforward partner for change. She helps them identify one small step at a time and build on progress. The goal is clearer choices and a more manageable day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals so they can decide what changes matter most.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change small behaviors that lead to better mood and functioning.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It is useful for people who want tools to regulate strong reactions and tolerate distress more effectively.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then try strategies that fit the person. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy days, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that can reduce travel time. The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online or in-person options before booking. Online work can focus on applying CBT and DBT skills between meetings and using short, goal-focused conversations to move forward.
