Dr. Danielle Hurt , LPCC

Dr. Danielle Hurt is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 12 years of professional experience. As an LPCC she holds specialized training to provide clinical counseling and support for individuals facing a range of mental health and life challenges. Her work spans areas such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and family concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, ADHD, and career or life transition struggles.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own life and brings resources that can be mobilized in difficult times. She invites clients to reclaim authorship of their story, recognizing that change begins with a courageous first step and is sustained by collaborative effort. Dr. Hurt aims to create a supportive environment where clients explore goals, develop coping skills, and build self-compassion while addressing both immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

Drawing on evidence-informed methods and a client-centered stance, she tailors care to the individual needs of adults, young adults, families, veterans and first responders, and those dealing with post-traumatic stress or identity and life-stage shifts. Her practice emphasizes practical strategies, emotional resilience, and helping clients move toward a more fulfilling and self-directed life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Danielle Hurt integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in identifying goals and strengths to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills that are helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Hurt works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure therapy is personalized and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. Dr. Hurt uses these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented care that supports both immediate coping and longer-term growth.
