Danny Maggard, LPC

Danny Maggard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of counseling experience and a longer background in emergency services. He works with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Danny also lists codependency among his focus areas and helps clients who feel stuck putting others first.

Danny trained in clinical mental health counseling and brings prior work in firefighting, emergency management, and law enforcement. He spent over three years at Gateway Foundation in Ozark Correctional Center providing individual and group therapy, case management, crisis intervention, behavioral work, and treatment planning. That experience shaped how he manages risk and supports people during intense moments.

He uses practical, evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, psycho-educational work, client-centered methods, and solution-focused approaches. Sessions involve clear goals, homework, and measurable steps rather than open-ended discussion alone. This helps people learn what they can control and how to act differently in daily life.

Danny describes counseling as a partnership. Clients are treated as the experts on their own lives and are expected to engage actively in session work. He focuses on building skills for coping with stress, managing emotions, and addressing addictive behaviors.

People who come to him often want concrete tools for setting boundaries, managing cravings or mood swings, and moving through loss or traumatic memories. He aims to help clients recognize strengths and translate them into practical changes they can use outside sessions.
