About Me
My strength is listening and assisting others with knowing self better so as to tap into talents as one resolves and better understand present concerns and issues negatively impacting on health and wellness. I've twenty five plus years experience counseling others in better managing depression, anxiety, loss and grief, parenting, addictions, bullying, acceptance, traumas and other challenges. Having worked with many clients as a licenced counselor in North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee I've gained much knowledge and awareness that can be passed on to others. Both counselor and client learn and gain in a positive therapeutic relationship maximizing client progress.
My counseling style includes using motivational interviewing, narrative, evidenced based non-medical counseling strategies, solution focused and cognitive behavioral techniques as blended to the needs/concerns of unique individuals. I affirm individual and family strengths and assist clients with using those strengths to address the concerns and issues agreed to.
The counseling process is engaged to help client know thyself better and feel empowered to continue to increase in health and well being as we conclude our short walk together. Please feel free to connect and walk through a positive counseling experience.

Reviews
Danny is the best councillor that I have ever had. He knows exactly what to say and when to say it and helps you through anything that is going on in your life. He always makes a time work for you.
I would 100% recommend Danny. He is fantastic!
Great Listener. Always good at helping you remember your values throughout the process.
The best help I can ask for. God Bless
Danny Drew is an excellent counselor. He has help me a lot. I have been in Counseling with him for quite a long time, I can see now the fruits of the inner work I have done with him.
It's very early in my counseling, but Danny has already offered great feedback and tips that I have been able to use successfully. Very optimistic about the future :)
Danny has been my Therapist for quite some time now. He's extremely caring and very easy to talk to. He has helped me through some very difficult situations, he helps me with analyzing my own feelings, the reality of situations, and recommends techniques to help me in a variety of ways. Very understanding and compassionate!
Danny is great. He is a great listener (I can talk a lot) and gives great input and advice when I seek it. While I don’t always talk about my issues all of the time, and I ramble, Danny let’s me talk about whatever is on my mind.
Danny has been so consistent and helpful. At a time when my commitment to the work seems to falter Danny has been there to encourage me in just the right way. Thank you Danny and thank you BetterHelp!
Danny is solid and comfortable to talk and dig into my needs and issues!! I would highly recommend him!!!
Mr. Drew hasn’t skipped a beat since we were matched. He is very attentive and in tuned with my concerns. I almost feel that he can understand the “in-between the lines” of our conversation. I appreciate his value, experience, and expertise that he brings to every one of our sessions. And he always gives me things to reflect on and sometimes I even get “homework.” I definitely recommend Mr. Drew to anyone who is looking for someone to help comb through some stuff to get to solutions, a different perspective, and an overall better life.
Very nice , he has pretty good advice so far , enjoy talking with him
I absolutely love working with Danny. We have been working together since September 2020 and he has been such a big help to me. I have been able to see a difference in the way that I process things and my view points. Danny is SO understanding and always creates a safe space for me. I can talk to him about anything and not feel judged. Danny is so wise, compassionate, understanding, and most importantly an AMAZING listener. He always ask the right questions and helps me see things in a different way. He is honest and caring and I can tell he has a heart for his work. I highly recommend working with Danny. You will NOT be disappointed.
He is a very good listener. He helps you work through issues as best as he can and always send any additional info such as worksheets etc. If he can this is the best about myself I have felt in a long time and I’m grateful for him.
Danny has been great throughout the therapy process. I would definitely recommend him. He was a great listener, and he was great at engaging in helpful, productive conversation.
Danny is a really kind, understanding and insightful person. I was struggling with a variety of issues and the way he helped me navigate through them really made a difference.
Danny Drew helped me to make sense of my life and my experiences. He helped me work through painful and fearful memories and make meaning from them. He was always very respectful and he encouraged me to think and reflect in ways that i couldnt do with friends and family because oftentimes it was with those people that we had such memories. Thats my perspective. One thing i learned from Danny is to relax and enjoy life. He taught me that those who quickly jump, quickly fall. I'm in this for the long haul and he really gave me the confidence to face the difficulties of life and still have a good time, making good decisions. I've gotten to know myself in a way i didn't think was possible and the least i can say to him is "I appreciate you man."
Danny has been extremely helpful. He is a good listener and gives really good advice. His belief in God is very comforting. I look forward to speaking to Danny every week.
Danny has been a Godsend for me. He has helped me see my anxiety as something I can control and work towards overcoming with small steps daily. I really appreciate him.
Danny is patience and attentive. He makes me feel justified in my feelings but also brings me back down to earth. Lovely counselor :)
Danny Drew is a great counselor. He is a great listener and offers great advice.
Danny has helped me going some thoughts process. Think about the different alternatives on situation. And mostly has helped me grow as a person. I feel safe and listen to. Thank you!
Danny is empathetic, and validating. He has a way of guiding you to the answers that you already have within yourself, using questions, prompts, and discussion. He is compassionate, and understanding, and very skilled at what he does. 10/10 would recommend Danny.
Danny is very wise, intelligent, compassionate and caring. He is helpful in ensuring I move beyond the past, stay focused in the here and now while also challenging me to look to a positive future as well.
Danny Drew is very warm and friendly. Beyond that he clearly understands the challenges and is able to assist me walk through the challenges of leaving unhealthy habits that people and myself have.
I’ve only had one session but it went well and I’m excited about our future work together!
Danny Drew provides a listening ear, is credible and helps you find the answer to issues without being heavy handed in his approach.
Very nice and very straight forward
In a short time, Danny understand my point of view and gets what I am trying to achieve in the conversations.
He's older and wise, been in a long-term marriage, understands and thereby empathizes with me better than some younger person fresh out of psych school. Great match up - has given me an enthusiasm for therapy and belief that it might just be helpful to me when I have been at best skeptical about it before.
Danny is an excellent, empathetic listener. He is helping me form a positive perspective on bettering myself while encouraging me to be kind to myself. He really connects with what I’m trying to convey even if I don’t know exactly how to phrase my points and always provides helpful feedback and advice. Overall, I would recommend BetterHelp and Danny Drew to any of my friends or colleagues. 10/10
Danny has been such a big support! Talking to him feels like I am being listened to. He remembers the things I tell him, he reminds me of things I left behind, and he says things that help me make a decision. I keep a notepad next to me during every session because I like to take notes of things Danny says. I was in need of counseling for a while and I am glad I started when I did. Danny got to know me and learned about my situation before a lot more happened and when I had his help through the hardest times it made it all clearer. Getting back on my feet feels easier and I get more and more confident in the steps that I take. Thanks to Danny Drew and BetterHelp. It's great to have you!
Danny is amazing.
Danny is a very attentive caring counselor who has gone the extra mile to reach out to me.
I had some trauma when I was younger that was severely affecting my life and my relationships in a negative way. I also didn't have even the kind of money to afford this service for a long period of time. But Danny took the time and discussed treatment options for PTSD that I did not know much about before. I had tried different forms of therapy with limited success, but being able to write out my feelings, thoughts, and experiences allowed me to express myself in a way that I would not feel comfortable doing while sitting one on one with someone in the same room with me. Maybe that's a sign of me being on the older side of the texting/dm/instant message generation, but the messenger discussion was a game changer for me. Danny and BetterHelp helped me so much in a short amount of time, and they didn't dismiss me or treat me as less important just because of my adverse financial situation. Because of Danny, I found a local EMDR therapist that I can see, and it has been so helpful. Thank you so much.
Danny is super compassionate and helpful! He’s a great resource and gives some really thoughtful ideas and suggestions.
Great counselor, empathetic and kind. He is patient and knows his job.
Danny Drew is a great listener & has an awesome sense of calmness that makes the sessions even better! I am just beginning to start my sessions but so far - they’ve been great & I’d definitely recommend him!
Dr. Drew is a great counselor. He immediately identified some traumatic experiences for me and lead me to the help I needed!
He helped me a lot and I’ve been able to cope with my anxiety and stress a lot better. I used to have sleeping problem too but it got better as well. He is very kind and genuine. I would like to talk to him more when I use again.
Danny is extremely supportive and great at providing guidance towards healing mental scars. He helped me see the importance of the little things and played a big part in improving my overall outlook on life. The goals he provided were instrumental to helping me pursue my desired outcome when it came to counseling.
Danny has been a great counselor. He’s unflappable and full of great words of wisdom. I’ve really enjoyed my conversations with him and the sessions have helped me talk through some of the issues I’ve been struggling with. He is professional and experienced and I highly recommend him. Many thanks to Danny for helping me get to a place where I want to talk about and dig deeper into feelings and thoughts on some life issues. It’s really made a difference for me.
I found Danny Drew to be friendly and caring. He seemed to show genuine interest in my problems and was keen to do what ever he could to help. I felt he understood me well. He gave encouragement and when needed drew me back to the question he had asked when I was going off at a tangent. I have every faith in his service. I would not hesitate to recommend Danny to anyone else.
