About Daniel

Daniel Schroeder is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, mood challenges, relationship strain, and substance-related concerns. He brings 12 years of clinical experience in Washington and aims to create a calm, respectful space for honest conversation.

He fosters an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard so people can speak freely about hard topics. That openness guides a practical, individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all fix. Sessions center on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and trying small, workable changes in day-to-day life.

Daniel combines client-centered ways of working with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness. He also draws on emotion-focused ideas to help people notice and name feelings that matter in relationships. These methods are used together to address concerns like codependency, attachment struggles, grief, or addictive behaviors.

In practice he helps people sort through concrete problems such as sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, workplace pressure, and shifting family roles after separation or blending households. He also supports those living with bipolar mood patterns, ADHD challenges, or recurring anger and control issues.

People who choose to work with him can expect respectful listening, clear goal-setting, and collaborative problem solving. He asks about what matters most, then tailors tools and homework to fit each person’s life and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Online sessions can preserve that tone by letting a person speak openly about relationships, codependency, and life stressors while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for changing thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting that may include setting small experiments between sessions, tracking sleep or eating patterns, and practicing coping strategies during follow-ups.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express key emotions in close relationships. Online conversations can support those steps by helping clients notice emotional patterns and try new ways of communicating with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person’s situation, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful. This exploration is done together rather than decided in advance.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around busy days, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and flexibility for people who need to fit sessions into work or family routines. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered.
