Daniel Twyman, LICSW, LCSW - Therapist in New Jersey

About Daniel

Daniel Twyman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 12 years of hands-on experience to sessions. He focuses on practical help for people facing relationship and parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma and other common life struggles.

Daniel aims to be straightforward and respectful in conversation so parents can get to the point quickly. He offers counseling and coaching-style guidance rooted in real-world problem solving.

Background and approach

In sessions Daniel uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns and try small changes that feel manageable. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how relationships shape reactions and needs. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are used when strong emotions or impulsivity make day-to-day life hard.

Motivational interviewing supports goal-setting and staying on track. Clients can expect direct, interactive sessions where the therapist listens first and then suggests practical steps. Plans are tailored to the situation and revised as work progresses.

Daniel avoids labels and focuses on actions that reduce stress and improve functioning. He holds licensure in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and has worked across a variety of concerns, including adoption and foster care related issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, abandonment, and attachment wounds. Daniel also addresses career, money, and life purpose questions alongside emotional and relational issues.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. His style is collaborative and change-oriented, aimed at helping parents and adults find clearer paths forward.

Online approaches that fit busy family lives

Daniel often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical problems like parenting routines.

He also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how past and present relationships shape feelings and reactions. That approach helps people understand patterns that affect intimacy, trust, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person to learn goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there he recommends a mix of tools and checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to meet from home, handle short check-ins between appointments, and keep therapy consistent when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can use these tools to provide ongoing support and practical coaching without requiring an office visit.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
