About Daniel

Daniel Echols is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and codependency. He also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, grief, career questions, and life changes. He aims to provide a calm place to talk and find next steps when things feel stuck.

He listens first and asks simple questions to clarify what matters to each person. Sessions emphasize helping clients notice their values and make small, practical changes that fit daily life. He blends direct conversation with reflective listening so people can try new ways of handling old problems.

Daniel uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused work. These give him several ways to respond depending on the concern and the person’s goals. He adapts methods rather than following a single formula.

His practice also welcomes people who bring spiritual concerns. He describes an open faith-based view and will incorporate faith or spiritual meaning when clients want that included. He balances that with evidence-informed exercises and practical steps to reduce symptoms and increase wellbeing.

Daniel has worked in counseling for 23 years and practices in Texas. He offers clear, steady support for people who want direction, relief, or greater clarity about their next steps. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most and then take small actions that match those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood, codependency, and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who notice repeating relationship problems, insecurity, or difficulty trusting others.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client and then suggest methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as people try different strategies and report what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as format details are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep conversations focused on practical steps. Some people appreciate shorter check-ins during a workday or the ability to join a session without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-focused practices to work over distance while helping clients practice new behaviors between sessions.
