About Daniel

Daniel Christy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience. He offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance issues, grief, and major life changes. He welcomes straightforward conversations about what feels hardest right now and helps clients find practical ways forward.

Daniel works in a relaxed, conversational way. He listens first, then suggests steps to try. He often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also blends mindfulness to help people stay present and manage strong feelings.

Sessions focus on real-life skills and short-term goals. Clients may practice new responses to stress, build coping plans for change, or develop clearer boundaries at work and home. He also addresses compassion fatigue and caregiving strains that come with end-of-life situations.

Drawing on two decades of practice, Daniel aims to make therapy feel useful and doable. He values clear guidance and practical exercises over jargon. His work includes addiction-related concerns and support around grief and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

People who prefer a friendly, matter-of-fact style tend to respond well to his approach. He helps clients break problems into manageable steps, track small wins, and adjust plans as life changes. If you want direct conversation and practical tools, his style is built around that.

How his approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist reflects what the client says, helps clarify goals, and supports the person to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions; it teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with attention to balancing acceptance and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are hard to arrange. Online conversations also let people try skill practice and mindfulness exercises between meetings to keep momentum going.
