About Daniel
Daniel Neil is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and sadness. He also addresses transitions in life and concerns such as codependency and communication problems.
He aims to create a calm and respectful space where people can talk about what is hardest for them. Sessions begin by listening to the immediate concerns and priorities. Daniel works with each person to set clear, achievable goals and to build practical skills that can be used between sessions.
His approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. That means looking at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and trying small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness tools are used to slow down reactions and bring attention to the present moment.
Daniel describes his style as collaborative and holistic. He pays attention to emotional, mental, physical, and social factors that affect well-being. Each plan is adjusted to fit the person in front of him rather than following a one-size-fits-all method.
In a first session he asks about current challenges, strengths, and what someone hopes to change. He aims for people to leave the initial meeting feeling understood and clear about next steps. Over time the work focuses on strengthening coping skills and increasing confidence to manage life’s demands.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Daniel uses evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical steps such as testing unhelpful beliefs and building new routines, which can be practiced between sessions.He also uses mindfulness-based practices to help reduce reactivity and build present-moment awareness. These exercises are brief and can be made part of daily routines, for instance through short breathing or grounding practices between appointments.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that match your needs and adapt them if something isn’t working well.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here.
