About Daniel

Daniel Lance is a licensed psychologist in California who works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and difficulties managing life changes.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, he focuses on helping people navigate mood disorders, panic attacks, and related emotional challenges by combining practical strategies with a collaborative therapeutic relationship. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Daniel aims to create an affirming, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and set realistic goals for change. His practice emphasizes skill-building and short- to mid-term interventions that support clearer thinking and improved emotional regulation.

Clients typically find him to be steady and goal-oriented, working alongside them to identify patterns, test new behaviors, and track progress. He balances evidence-informed techniques with respect for each person’s background and identity, helping individuals translate insights from therapy into daily life.

Practical approaches for online emotional care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and identifying personal goals, often aiding those who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches so treatment feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Daniel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to continue momentum between meetings, supporting consistent skill practice and ongoing progress.
