About Danis
Danis Okang is a licensed professional counselor with twenty years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, family conflict, and low self-esteem. He writes short, direct guidance and aims to meet people where they are.
Background and approach
He focuses on practical steps so clients can notice small changes quickly. Danis uses several well-known approaches to shape sessions.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on patterns that come from earlier relationships. Sessions are tailored to each person.
He listens first, then suggests tools that fit daily life. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented while still allowing space for emotion and reflection.
Danis treats concerns such as panic attacks, mood problems, trauma reactions, and struggles with guilt or shame. He also supports people facing divorce or separation, addiction recovery, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
He is licensed in Pennsylvania as an LPC and offers care in English. Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that matches therapist availability.
The aim is steady progress, one step at a time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values. It helps with anxiety, low motivation, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines patterns of thought and behavior and introduces experiments to test new ways of acting. It can be effective for panic, mood issues, and unhelpful thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication. It can help with fears of abandonment, trust issues, and feeling disconnected.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Danis works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so progress matches what the client wants.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text let clients send quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or use written check-ins when schedules are tight. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, and daily routines.
