About Daniel

Dr. Daniel Krall helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and a broad range of life challenges. He has particular experience with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, and issues related to attention and impulsivity.

He writes plainly and meets clients where they are, offering direct support without judgment. His style is warm and interactive. He treats people with respect and sensitivity while also pointing out patterns that get in the way of change.

Background and approach

Sessions mix talk, practical tools, and gentle challenge so clients can experiment with new ways of coping. Dr. Krall uses several evidence-based methods to guide the work.

He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build commitment to change, and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and increase focus. He also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered listening when they fit the situation. He brings 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist in Texas.

That background informs how he tracks progress and adjusts plans over time. People come for help with a mix of concerns - from parenting stress and relationship patterns to career pressure and midlife shifts - and the approach adapts to each person’s goals. Getting started involves a few straightforward steps.

Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a first session to discuss priorities and make a plan together.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses less on eliminating difficult thoughts and more on building a life driven by chosen priorities, which can help with depression, anxiety, and parenting stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to spot and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel problems. It is useful for anxiety, mood issues, sleep and eating concerns, and managing impulsivity by giving clear tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your situation, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative so plans can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier and let people choose how they communicate on any given day. For many, the flexibility helps keep momentum between sessions while still providing regular opportunities for feedback and new skills.

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.

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.
