About Daniel
Daniel Christy is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of practice who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and substance use concerns. He uses a relaxed, direct style so conversations feel natural and focused on what matters most to the client. Many people come to him for support with depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and career transitions.
He keeps sessions straightforward. Clients describe their main concern and he helps them build practical skills to cope day to day.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to build calmer responses to triggers. Daniel also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those fit the situation. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, improving distress tolerance, or finding personal reasons to change a pattern of behavior.
The goal is skills people can use between sessions. He works with people facing a wide range of life challenges, including compassion fatigue, family problems, major life changes, and end-of-life or hospice related concerns. He aims to make the process manageable for someone worried about starting therapy.
Daniel practices from Missouri and offers help in English. He invites newcomers to take the first step and talk about one small change they want to try, then together set a plan that fits their daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client's pace to build trust and clarity. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through problems and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, anger, and addictive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they can try approaches and adjust the plan until it fits the client's life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make counseling more flexible and easier to fit into daily routines.
