About Dan

Dr. Dan Moen is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those coping with career shifts, sleep problems, caregiver strain, and codependency. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Clients find direct help with relationship patterns, communication difficulties, and attachment issues. He uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions aim to clarify goals and create small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Dr. Moen blends several evidence-based methods to match each person’s situation. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance-oriented work to build tolerance for difficult feelings. Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness and trust.

Therapy with him tends to be collaborative and goal-focused. He asks questions, listens closely, and suggests skills people can try between meetings. He also helps people make sense of how past relationships shape current patterns.

With six years of clinical experience, Dr. Moen aims to make therapy useful and understandable. People meet to talk through specific problems, try new ways of relating, and track progress over time. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How specific approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings link together and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and habits, useful for stress, sleeping problems, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before scheduling, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and to check in more frequently when needed. It also allows people to practice skills in their own routine and return to issues that come up between sessions without extra travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to an online format so therapy stays focused and actionable.
