About Daniel

Daniel Jansen is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. He uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through parenting challenges, anger, stress, anxiety, and low mood. Daniel values each person’s strengths and works to build on what is already going well.

He encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels possible and real. He draws on eight years of professional experience in Oregon. His approach centers on listening first and then using tools that match what the person needs.

Background and approach

That can mean skill-building for emotion regulation, changing unhelpful thinking, or setting concrete goals for daily life. Daniel blends several evidence-based methods to tailor sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift thought patterns that keep problems going.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for tolerating intense feelings and reducing reactivity. He also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to keep work practical and person-driven. Sessions move at a pace the person can handle.

Daniel helps parents and individuals identify achievable steps, practice new skills, and track small wins. He speaks plainly and keeps exercises short and usable between sessions. People can expect a collaborative style that emphasizes respect and clear goals.

Daniel aims to make therapy feel like a useful conversation rather than a lecture. If someone is looking for concrete tools and steady support, his style is focused and approachable.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects back what he hears, and helps clarify goals; this approach is helpful for people who want a respectful, collaborative space to talk about parenting and life stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with simple exercises and homework. Online sessions can review patterns, practice new responses, and set small, measurable steps to try between appointments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing reactivity, which can be useful for anger, stress, and mood problems when practiced with therapist support.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which approaches fit someone's needs, goals, and daily life. That decision is made together and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins and support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and try tools in real time at home.

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.
