About Daniel

Daniel Sanchez is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland with ten years of clinical mental health counseling experience. He holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and speaks both English and Spanish. He brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to families and parents who are trying to manage stress and life change.

He focuses on common family concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

He also addresses caregiving strain, communication breakdowns, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and issues related to work and money. He combines experience with straightforward coping skills parents can try between sessions. Daniel draws from client-centered methods that put the person's experience first.

He also uses narrative work to help people reframe their story and solution-focused techniques to build small, achievable changes. Sessions can be offered in English or Spanish depending on the family's needs. His style is collaborative and practical.

He offers both faith-based and non-faith-based support when appropriate, and he tailors session goals to what the family most wants to improve. Parents who want clear steps and direct tools often find this style helpful. To begin, he asks people to identify immediate stressors and one or two small goals.

From there he teaches skills, practices new ways to talk with family members, and checks progress across sessions.

Approaches that fit busy families and online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients decide what matters most. This approach is useful when parents or family members need a respectful space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem by looking at the story they tell about their lives. It can be helpful for families who feel stuck in repeating patterns and want to try a new way of talking about conflicts or roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the family about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ideas. Then he will adapt methods and try small steps to see what works best for the household.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family calendar. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins and notes between meetings. This flexibility helps families stay consistent and practice new skills in real life.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
