Daniel Sorensen

Daniel Sorensen is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. He works with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer clients and people facing compassion fatigue. His style is calm and straightforward, aimed at making hard conversations easier to start.

Daniel focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day. Sessions often center on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and finding meaning after loss or disruption. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, aging concerns, divorce, and challenges tied to family of origin.

In therapy he uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. He draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people reframe their stories and explore purpose. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added when clients want concrete tools for change.

Daniel’s work is collaborative. He listens for what matters most and helps set realistic goals. The tone is respectful and practical, and progress is tracked in ways that make sense to each client.

He practices in Washington and speaks English. International clients are accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on availability.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s priorities and offering empathic listening so people feel understood and heard. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort through stress or life changes.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, purpose, and choice. It helps people facing grief, aging, or major life transitions by encouraging reflection on values and what matters next.

Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. These techniques can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.

Confirming current session options before booking is recommended. The practical advantage of online work is making therapy easier to fit into a busy life - sessions can avoid travel time and be scheduled around work or caregiving. Some formats use less bandwidth or let people check in without video, which can be useful for shorter updates or when a quieter environment is needed. Licensed professionals can help clients choose how to structure sessions so therapy becomes a usable part of daily life.
