About Daniel

Daniel Alpiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of practice. He works from Kentucky and brings experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. He helps those facing trauma, life changes, workplace strain, and compassion fatigue.

Daniel uses a straightforward, interactive style that invites clients to guide the work. He favors an approach where the person in therapy is treated as the expert on their life.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to leave clients feeling heard and more able to handle daily problems. Daniel mixes practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with person-focused listening and goal-oriented methods. He also uses techniques from motivational interviewing and narrative strategies to help people reframe difficult stories.

In a typical session Daniel talks through problems, tests small changes, and helps set clear, reachable steps. He focuses on concrete skills for coping with anxiety, managing mood swings, handling workplace stress, and improving self-esteem. For parenting concerns he supports caregivers in setting limits, building routines, and navigating emotionally charged moments.

Daniel’s style is active but collaborative. He adjusts methods to match each person’s needs and goals. Progress is measured in practical changes rather than labels or jargon.

He holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and maintains licensure in Kentucky. Daniel offers sessions in English and provides several online session formats to fit different schedules.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful partnership. The therapist treats the person as the expert on their life and follows their lead to identify what matters most and set priorities. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clarity, or support making decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and tackle patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build motivation in a nonjudgmental way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques based on how someone responds and what feels most useful in real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people meet from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and use shorter check-ins or longer conversations as needed. For many, this makes consistent, practical therapy easier to keep up with while still using the same therapeutic tools and collaborative process as in-person care.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
