Daniel brings 23 years of counseling experience and practices from a person-centered and existential perspective while incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. He aims to listen deeply, affirm experiences, and tailor interventions to each person’s needs so they can better access their core values and move toward meaningful change.

His faith-informed orientation is welcoming of spirituality as a resource when it fits a client’s worldview.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process to uncover the inner guidance that supports wholehearted living.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Daniel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life stressors. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action, often helping with issues like avoidance, emotional pain, and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he approaches treatment collaboratively. He will work with each client to explore which strategies align with their goals, tailoring methods and pacing to individual needs and preferences rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
