About Daniel
Daniel Schroeder is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes. He aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk honestly about what’s hardest for them.
He uses a client-centered stance, which means conversations follow the person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral work helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with clearer, doable steps.
Background and approach
Emotion-focused tools guide people through stronger emotional connections and help them understand how feelings affect behavior. Daniel brings experience helping people with depression, bipolar challenges, addiction, grief, and trauma. He also supports concerns such as body image, parenting strain, blended family tensions, fatherhood issues, and communication problems.
He combines those approaches to match what each person needs in the moment. Sessions emphasize practical change and steady progress. Expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and simple exercises you can use between meetings.
He also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions when that fits the client’s goals. Daniel works with mindfulness practices to reduce stress and improve focus. Those practices are woven into CBT and emotion-focused work when helpful.
The result is a personalized plan aimed at clearer thinking, stronger relationships, and better daily routines.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and building trust. Online sessions let the conversation start where the person feels it matters most, and the therapist adapts to pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift them; this work transfers easily to video or phone sessions with worksheets and simple between-session exercises. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships by focusing on feelings and interactional cycles, and it can be effective through guided conversations over video.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust them over time based on what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper work and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or try brief coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied routines.
