About Daniel
Daniel Echols is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, career questions, and issues related to LGBT identity.
He brings 23 years of counseling experience to sessions and offers a calm, accepting presence for people seeking direction or relief. Daniel emphasizes plain talk and steady listening.
Background and approach
He creates a space where people can name what hurts and figure out practical next steps. He draws on person-centered ideas and acceptance-based methods to meet people where they are. He also integrates existential perspectives when questions about purpose or meaning come up.
In sessions he helps clients notice what matters most and practice small changes that add up. Work might include learning new ways to respond to stress, trying experiments to shift patterns, or developing clearer communication skills. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused approaches when they fit the situation.
Daniel is open about valuing spirituality and faith for many people, and he invites whatever beliefs a person brings into the work. He blends established techniques with creative exploration to help people move toward clearer direction. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through online formats to suit different needs.
For someone looking for straightforward support while sorting out parenting concerns or life transitions, Daniel offers steady guidance and practical options. He focuses on helping each person hear what matters to them and take steps toward it.
How Daniel’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT to address anxiety, depression, and life transitions by practicing small, value-driven moves between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships. In virtual work this approach helps people see how past relationship templates affect current bonds and practice new ways of relating with partners or family members.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Daniel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that fit. That collaborative decision-making helps tailor the plan as needs change.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, reflections, and exercises between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule while keeping continuity of care.
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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
