About Daniela

Daniela Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with eight years of experience. She focuses on parents and caregivers dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, eating concerns, depression, addiction, relationship and family challenges, and related issues. She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients in a direct, approachable way.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and on Jungian-influenced reflective work to help people see recurring life patterns. In sessions she pays attention to thoughts and emotions, and to everyday routines and physical stress. That means talking about habits, sleep, eating, and how the body and nervous system affect mood.

She aims to make insights feel useful and doable rather than abstract. Daniela often blends skill-building with deeper exploration when it helps. That can include looking at attachment and abandonment themes, identity and body image concerns, and the ways past trauma shows up now.

She works to create practical steps clients can try between sessions. Her background includes work with a range of concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, substance and alcohol issues, codependency, communication problems, and intimate relationship difficulties. Daniela strives to help people find clearer direction, better coping, and more ease in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Daniela draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that fit naturally into video or phone sessions and help with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and stress.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) informed skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are practical to practice between sessions and can be reviewed via live chat or text-based messaging when needed.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Daniela works with each person to figure out what feels most useful based on goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She mixes skill-building and deeper reflective work when that helps create clearer next steps.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, to check in between appointments, and to practice new skills in everyday life. Working remotely still allows for focused, goal-oriented work with a licensed professional.

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.

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.
