About Daniel

Daniel Schroeder is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. He brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, and substance use concerns.

Background and approach

Daniel aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters to them and begin to make practical changes. He begins by building a nonjudgmental relationship so people feel comfortable sharing hard things.

From there he blends approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method ideas, and mindfulness practices to shape a plan that fits each person. Daniel has worked with people facing mood disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction.

He also helps with everyday struggles like sleep, eating, parenting, career stress, and problems with intimacy or communication. He draws on motivational and practical strategies for coping and change.

Sessions focus on clear goals and skills clients can use between meetings. Daniel emphasizes understanding patterns - for example in attachment, abandonment concerns, codependency, or blended family tensions - and then testing small changes to improve daily life.

People meet him over video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He works in English and holds a Washington LMHC license.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Daniel blends the Gottman Method influence, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide work in online sessions. The Gottman Method ideas focus on communication patterns and practical exercises that improve how people relate. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's experience and priorities, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets thoughts and behaviors with concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client collaborate to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, whether that’s emotion work, skill practice, or mindfulness exercises.

The online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when that helps with connection and interactive exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines.
