About Dan

Dr. Dan Moen is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, depression, and a range of life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on six years of clinical experience to support clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep disruption, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges with self esteem. His work is grounded in evidence-based methods and emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore painful memories, attachment patterns, and communication hurdles.

Dan combines practical skills training with deeper exploration of family of origin issues, codependency, commitment and control concerns, and substance-related problems to help clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding. As an LMFT (licensed marriage and family therapist) he weaves cognitive and emotion-focused strategies into a collaborative process tailored to each person’s goals.

Clients can expect a focus on learning concrete coping tools alongside attention to relational patterns, forgiveness, guilt or shame, and moving toward sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Dr. Dan Moen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior in day-to-day life. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and problematic coping, while ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance skills to help people live a meaningful life even when difficult feelings persist.

He also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and early bonds, which can shed light on communication problems, intimacy struggles, codependency, and family of origin issues. These approaches are used flexibly so the therapist and client can decide together which methods best fit the client’s goals and circumstances.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow for scheduling that fits work and family commitments and make it possible to continue therapeutic progress from diverse locations while tailoring the pace and tools to each person's needs.
