About Mitchell

Mitchell Daas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with ten years of practice. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance concerns, and a range of life changes. He combines practical tools with a calm, accepting presence to help people move toward clearer goals.

Mitchell uses straightforward methods from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior techniques. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas when those fit the situation.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize concrete skills, mindful noticing, and steps a person can try between meetings. His style aims to balance acceptance with workable change. He listens without judgment and helps people choose what to try next.

Many conversations focus on facing hard feelings, improving everyday habits like sleep and eating, and managing attention or stress challenges. Mitchell works with issues that often affect daily life including relationships, parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem, and career stress. He also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and trauma-related symptoms.

The goal is practical progress toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful. People who prefer clear techniques plus a compassionate guide may find his approach useful. He offers services in English and accepts international clients, providing care through several remote session formats.

Online approaches that combine skills and acceptance

Mitchell commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and take small committed steps toward a chosen life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and learning practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mitchell treats the first few sessions as collaborative exploration to see which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on what helps most in everyday life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or distance constraints. Video calls let the conversation feel closest to an office visit, while phone sessions can be easier on low-energy days. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing skills coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to practice new skills in real life and keep therapy tied to daily routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

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.
