Daniel Blanchette, LPC - Therapist in Oregon

About Daniel

Daniel Blanchette is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and other life challenges. He brings 20 years of experience and a straightforward, practical style. He speaks English and practices from Oregon.

He prefers short, focused sessions that help parents and caregivers talk through immediate problems. Daniel uses everyday language and concrete tools. He often combines thinking-based exercises with mindfulness and values-focused work to support change.

Background and approach

His training includes a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from Portland State University. Before clinical work he had varied roles including teaching and service in the United States Army. Those experiences shaped his approach to practical problem solving and steady support.

Over two decades he has worked in many settings such as primary care, inpatient treatment, and emergency departments, and he has provided consultation for legal matters. He has experience with hotlines and residential programs, which informs how he responds in crisis and high-stress situations. In sessions Daniel blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, and client-centered methods.

He aims to help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and build manageable daily routines. He offers flexible online formats like video, phone, chat, and messaging to fit busy family schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice values and take small actions toward them. It mixes acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with concrete steps that match what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more helpful ones through experiments and practice. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and listening so clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit goals and preferences. That collaborative selection helps tailor sessions to parenting pressures, family stress, or personal challenges.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions reduce screen time, and live chat or text messaging offer quick check-ins between meetings. These formats give flexibility and steady contact while using the same therapeutic tools Daniel applies in person.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
