More about Daniel
- 25 years' experience
- Male
- LICSW
I have been a practicing licensed clinical social worker for many years with experience working with adults, youth and children as a therapist, crisis clinician, case manager and program director. I enjoy making a connection, helping people get unstuck and work through their problems. And I'm pretty good at it, so that helps.
When I meet with someone for the first time, I like to focus on what the current situation and get some background information to better understand the context. I try to think about how I would feel in a similar situation and figure out together what would be helpful.
My training is psychodynamic though I like to use cognitive behavioral techniques to help understand the interplay between our thoughts, feelings and actions. I am DBT certified and committed to the principles of trauma-informed care in all of my work.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
