Danielle (Danni) Helms, MA, LPC, LCMHC

Owner & Founder

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready for more than just talking through their challenges. They’re ready for real, lasting change.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and have already done therapy or personal growth work. They often understand their patterns, yet still find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or repeating the same emotional or relationship cycles.

My approach is designed for that space.

As a licensed counselor in both South Carolina and North Carolina (soon Tennessee), I bring a strong clinical foundation grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed Therapy and Motivational Interviewing (MI). At the same time, my work goes beyond traditional talk therapy by integrating deeper emotional, subconscious, and holistic approaches.

This includes shadow work, somatic work, nervous system awareness, and Reiki-informed practices that support healing across mind, body, and emotional experience.

I believe that insight alone is not always enough for change. Many patterns are held at deeper levels that are within the nervous system, emotional memory, and subconscious processes. My work focuses on helping clients safely access and shift those patterns so that change becomes not just understood, but experienced.

My background includes clinical work in correctional and psychiatric settings, psychiatric research, and positions with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the South Carolina Department of Mental Health. These experiences inform my ability to provide grounded, ethical, and compassionate care while also supporting deeper transformation.

In addition to my clinical work, I host a free monthly Zoom support circle for veterans as part of my commitment to community care. This offering is supported through a nonprofit organization, Hook, Line, & Heroes, which is listed in the Community Support section of this site.

I am also developing a Growth and Healing Program that will offer classes focused on personal development, resilience, and integrative well-being.

All services are provided online for clients located in North Carolina and South Carolina.

My goal is to create a space where you feel supported not only in understanding yourself, but in actually changing the patterns that have kept you stuck so you can move forward with greater clarity, stability, and alignment.
