About Dan
Dan often meets people who are uncertain what comes next after a major change. He describes therapy as a partnership rather than a set of instructions. Sessions look at what keeps someone stuck and identify practical steps to reduce distress and regain forward motion.
His work draws from evidence-based methods. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic EMDR, and solution-focused work. In sessions the emphasis is on clear skills, noticing patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps.
Dan reports experience supporting people with substance use concerns, co-occurring conditions, self-harm thoughts, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders. He also notes experience with fatherhood issues, family of origin concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and hearing impaired clients. Those cases have shaped his focus on practical tools and safety planning when needed.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Dan references are goal-focused and translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through short experiments and skill practice. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Internal Family Systems encourages people to notice different parts of themselves and to have more constructive internal conversations. Both approaches can be used in talk-based online sessions and adapted to individual needs.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dan treats approach selection as a collaborative process, adjusting techniques based on a client's goals, responses to interventions, and comfort with specific exercises. The clinician and client reassess together and try different strategies when needed.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fit into a busy week and fewer barriers to attending regular appointments. If you need details about session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions.
