Daniel Romo, LMFT - Therapist in California

About Daniel

Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship issues. He aims to help people feel that they matter and to create practical steps for daily life. He brings ten years of experience in community and nonprofit settings and speaks English.

Daniel uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. He listens first, and then helps clients set short- and long-term goals.

Background and approach

He combines talk-based work with practical tools that clients can try between meetings. Sessions emphasize respect for each person’s background and limits. His background includes a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in trauma and Latinx studies from Pacific Oaks College and a psychology degree from California State University Fullerton.

Early work included school-based services and roles supporting youth in residential settings. That experience shaped his focus on accessible, community-minded care. Over the years he has worked in various nonprofit programs and community wellness roles, supporting people with depression, impulse-control challenges, anger management, and substance-related concerns.

He has also worked with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and developed skills for outreach and inclusion. In sessions Daniel leans on client-centered listening and integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. He collaborates with each person to build plans that fit their life and aims for steady, practical progress.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows each person’s concerns and helps them set the pace and goals that feel right for their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete steps to change patterns that cause stress or anxiety. These approaches can help with relationship issues, parenting stress, mood changes, and everyday coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what works. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant to their situation.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. These formats let people connect from home, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and use brief check-ins when helpful. The variety of options supports steady progress while accommodating busy family lives and changing schedules.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
