About Daniel

Daniel Schroeder is a licensed mental health counselor who centers therapy on the person in the room. He uses straightforward, practical methods so parents and caregivers can talk through hot spots at home. Daniel speaks plainly and focuses on helping people change patterns that cause stress and conflict.

He brings 12 years of clinical experience and a WA LMHC license (Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor). Daniel has worked with people facing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

He also helps with parenting concerns, family problems, grief, and life transitions. In sessions he aims to create acceptance and calm so clients can be honest about what is hard. He combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work.

Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention and ease reactive patterns. Daniel adapts methods to each person rather than using a single formula. That means practical tools for managing mood, clearer communication skills, and steps to reduce harmful behaviors.

He offers short-term coaching-style work as well as deeper therapy depending on need. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. His practice follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and operates from Washington.

To begin, a prospective client completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the available times.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions use that same stance to create space for honest conversation and to prioritize what the client brings to the session.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. In video or phone work CBT often includes homework, short skills practice, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change habits.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on how feelings and patterns show up in relationships. Online EFT can guide partners or family members to notice reactions, name emotions, and practice new ways of connecting even when sessions are remote.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what works for the person. Clients and therapist decide together what to keep or change as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow work from home, and let people use shorter check-ins or longer sessions as needed. For many families and caregivers, that flexibility makes it easier to keep momentum between appointments.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
