About Dashiel

Dashiel Geyen is a licensed clinician with 25 years of hands-on experience in behavioral science and clinical practice. He trained in psychology and advanced clinical programs, and he holds both Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor credentials. He practices in Texas and communicates in English.

He earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Lamar University and completed graduate work at Texas Southern University and the University of Texas-Houston.

Background and approach

His training continued with executive education and post-doctoral fellowships at Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institutes of Health. He has published articles, book chapters, and monographs and has held roles on hospital staff and college faculty.

In sessions he focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely about stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. He also addresses addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and intellectual disability. He favors clear, direct conversation and practical steps clients can try between meetings.

His background in both research and clinical settings shapes a practical approach. He draws on evidence-based techniques and real-world experience to tailor work to each person’s needs. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Starting therapy is often hard, and he acknowledges that. He offers straightforward guidance and steady support through the early steps of engaging in treatment.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Dashiel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine behavioral science with clinical practice. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more useful ways of thinking and acting. This method often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to use day to day.

Another frequent strand in his work is skills-based relapse prevention and coping planning for addictions and difficult life changes. That involves breaking problems into manageable steps, building routines, and rehearsing responses to common triggers so people feel more in control.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied locations. Video calls let sessions feel like face-to-face meetings, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins when that is helpful. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life.
