About Daniel

Daniel Christy is an LPC based in Missouri who brings 24 years of clinical experience to his counseling work.

Background and approach

He helps people address concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting strains, career transitions, coping with life changes, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include issues like abandonment, body image, cancer-related concerns, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, and end-of-life counseling.

His manner is relaxed and conversational, inviting clients to lead discussions about what matters most to them while he offers structured support drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. He also integrates client-centered principles, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and motivational interviewing when appropriate, tailoring interventions to a client’s immediate priorities.

Sessions aim to combine practical strategies with attention to values and coping resources so clients can navigate difficult emotions and real-world challenges. Clients may find his long experience useful when facing complex or chronic concerns, and he accepts international clients who prefer to work remotely.

Daniel communicates in English and maintains a straightforward, respectful approach to collaborative change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Daniel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness into remote work in ways that emphasize practical skills and present-moment awareness. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills that support emotion regulation and stress reduction, useful for issues such as anger, grief, and compassion fatigue.

He also draws on client-centered principles to create a collaborative, respectful space online where the client's goals shape the work. Finding the right mix of techniques is treated as a shared process - the therapist helps clients evaluate what feels most helpful and adjusts methods to match each person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to engage in regular sessions during busy lives or when in different locations, and they allow for varied ways to practice skills between meetings, such as guided exercises, homework, or brief check-ins.
