Daniel Thorne, LMFT

Approaches that translate well to online work

Daniel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it works well for anxiety, depression, phobias, and many daily stressors. Client-Centered Therapy is also a core part of his work, which means sessions emphasize the person’s goals and pace, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity.

He may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when intense feelings or relationship strains are part of the picture. These skills teach practical ways to notice feelings, reduce overwhelm, and respond differently in high-stress moments. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that feel like a good fit. Adjustments are made along the way to keep work useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read visual cues and have longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support, and shorter skill practice between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady momentum toward their goals.
