About Daniel

Daniel Chaney is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and concerns related to LGBT identity. He brings an attentive, respectful style to sessions and focuses on issues that often tie into family life, self-esteem, and career changes. He aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about shame, guilt, and identity without feeling judged.

He centers conversations on practical steps clients can take between sessions.

Background and approach

That may include clarifying values, trying smaller behavior changes, and naming patterns that make daily life harder. He often helps people sort through family problems and the emotional fallout from prejudice or discrimination. Daniel describes his work as culturally responsive and affirming.

He supports people dealing with immigration-related stress, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses relationship-related topics such as commitment issues and infidelity while keeping the focus on individual healing and decision making. Over eight years of practice in Louisiana inform his approach.

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress, abandonment fears, and persistent feelings of emptiness. Sessions tend to focus on building self-love, improving coping skills, and finding clearer direction in life. Clients who choose to work together first complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

The process is collaborative and paced to fit the client’s needs.

How evidence-based approaches translate online

Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavior changes to improve daily functioning; this helps with anxiety, stress, and career or life-transition challenges. Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact by working through memories, reactions, and coping strategies; this can help with post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will help clients choose which techniques to try based on their goals, preferences, and everyday needs. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t working or to combine approaches when helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life - it can save travel time and make scheduling around work or caregiving easier. It can also offer shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that avoid video if that helps someone engage more comfortably. Licensed professionals tailor the format and approach to what each person needs, while focusing on practical steps and emotional healing.
