About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Gann helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and the pressures of life change. He supports clients working on career concerns, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to adoption or foster care.
Dr. Gann is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and he practices from Georgia. He brings eight years of clinical mental health experience along with more than 20 years in hospital chaplaincy and pastoral counseling.
That background shaped a straightforward, compassionate way of talking.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. In the room he is direct and transparent. He encourages people to say what they really think and feel.
Then he helps them try tools that can reduce anxiety, manage cravings, or handle big life changes. Dr. Gann draws on client-centered methods that keep the client’s priorities central.
He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior strategies to build coping skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are woven in when they fit the person’s needs. He has international experience and a background that includes time living overseas.
That experience informs how he listens and asks questions. He aims to create a calm, practical space so people can take small steps toward feeling better.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first and focuses on listening and building trust; online sessions can use that approach to shape each meeting around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change them, which works well over video or phone because homework and skill practice are easy to assign and review. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be taught through short lessons and real-time practice during remote sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences rather than forcing one method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people living far from the therapist. Video calls let someone keep visual connection, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit times when a call is not possible. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to practice skills in real life with support from a licensed professional.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
