More about Daniel

  • 17 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a counselor and psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, career challenges, parenting problems, and involvement in the legal system. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and that people are the experts of their own life. I also believe in challenging people to see different perspectives. My approach combines mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling. I focus on your goals and tailor treatment to meet your needs.

It takes courage to seek a happier life and make a commitment to change. If you are ready to take that step forward into the unknown, I am here to provide guidance, empowerment and support so you can get where you want to go.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.
