About Daniel
Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, parenting challenges, and codependency concerns. He aims to help people feel they matter and to build practical steps toward better days. Daniel draws on ten years of experience across community and school settings in California.
He trained at California State University Fullerton for his undergraduate degree and earned a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy at Pacific Oaks College with a specialization in trauma and Latinx studies. Early work included school-based services for elementary and secondary students and roles supporting at-risk youth in residential care. Those settings shaped his focus on life skills, goal planning, and practical coping strategies.
Daniel has worked across nonprofit agencies providing individual, group, and community-based support. He has experience addressing depression, attention and impulse-control issues, substance concerns, anger management, and interpersonal difficulties. He has also worked with members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and people who lack easy access to therapeutic services.
His in-session style is client-centered and culturally aware. He collaborates with people to make customized plans that fit their background and goals. Techniques he commonly uses include cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies.
People who meet with him can expect straightforward conversations, goal setting, and practical homework when appropriate. He emphasizes small steps that fit daily life and builds on strengths clients already bring. Daniel practices in California and brings a community-minded approach to therapy.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects back what they hear, and helps people make choices that match their values. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, mood, and patterns linked to codependency.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices support people coping with stress, trauma-related symptoms, and ongoing worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides which methods are used and how sessions proceed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue work on coping skills and goals between appointments, keeping progress connected to everyday routines.
