About Shaji

Dr. Shaji Daniel brings a cognitive behavioral framework to his counseling practice, blending practical thought-focused strategies with collaborative problem-solving.

Background and approach

He integrates CBT techniques to help clients spot and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, while using client-centered methods to create a respectful, empathetic space for personal exploration. Solution-focused interventions are added to help identify concrete steps and build hope during transitional seasons of life.

Dr. Daniel holds the LPC credential and practices in Texas with eleven years of professional experience.

His work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and relationship struggles. He also attends to communication problems, immigration-related issues, and multicultural concerns, helping people navigate life changes with practical strategies and reflective dialogue.

In sessions he emphasizes collaboration, guiding clients to develop coping skills, reframe maladaptive thoughts, and pursue attainable goals. He conducts therapy in English and Malayalam and offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Dr. Daniel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression, using structured exercises and cognitive restructuring in session. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps, highlighting strengths and small achievable goals to create momentum during life transitions and when coping with specific problems.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and past experiences with clients to determine whether CBT, client-centered listening, or solution-focused strategies best match their needs, and adapts methods over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, provide short-term check-ins or more in-depth sessions, and support consistent follow-through on techniques practiced between meetings.
