About Daniel

Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan brings a direct, informal style to his therapeutic work while drawing on seven years of clinical experience as an LMSW in Michigan.

Background and approach

He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career challenges, depression, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, and also addresses issues like communication problems, impulsivity, men's issues, midlife crisis, workplace difficulties, and young adult issues. His approach emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies to help clients move toward clearer goals and greater functioning.

Dan blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused techniques, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs and preferences. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored honestly.

Dan encourages clients to take manageable steps toward change and offers support and coaching throughout the process, helping people build confidence, motivation, and skills to handle everyday challenges.

Practical Approaches for Online Progress

Daniel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to practice alternative responses; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. He also employs client-centered therapy, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic space where a client’s perspective guides the work and personal strengths are emphasized. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify concrete goals and small, actionable steps to move toward the changes a person wants.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with each client to decide which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are shaped around what feels most helpful, with room to adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats support ongoing skill-building, check-ins, and coaching from licensed professionals, while allowing clients to engage in ways that match their comfort and availability.
