About Daniel
Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people navigate parenting stress and related concerns. He focuses on practical steps that ease everyday strain. He listens closely and works with each person to set clear, realistic goals.
He brings ten years of experience in community and nonprofit settings. Early work included school-based services and supporting at-risk youth in residential programs. That background shaped his interest in adoption and foster care, attachment issues, fatherhood concerns, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Daniel uses straightforward methods in sessions. He draws from Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. He also uses mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety and improve present-moment coping.
He has experience helping people with relationship problems, communication struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around commitment or infidelity. He also supports those dealing with depression, self-esteem, career decisions, and major life transitions. He tailors plans to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Daniel aims to make therapy approachable and useful. He works to create a respectful atmosphere where people feel heard and can try concrete strategies between sessions. His goal is practical change that fits everyday life.

How his approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients name what matters most so goals feel meaningful and doable. This approach supports parents who need a respectful space to talk through stress and decision points.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. It uses practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with parenting stress, depression, and relationship patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve coping in the moment. These techniques are useful for managing anxiety, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client’s life.
Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and convenient during a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing encouragement between scheduled sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
