About Daniel
Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan is an informal, down-to-earth licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He talks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Dan aims to make the first step less intimidating and supports people as they try new ways of coping.
He uses a conversational style and encourages people to speak honestly about what they are feeling. Sessions are meant to be a place where thoughts and emotions are shared without judgment.
Background and approach
Dan emphasizes clear goals and small changes that add up over time. Dan brings seven years of professional experience working with issues like depression, career concerns, and motivation. He also helps with impulse control and communication problems that get in the way at work or at home.
His approach often centers on what the person wants to change next, not on assigning blame. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviors.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, short-term goals and track progress. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Dan frames challenges as skills to learn rather than fixed faults.
He supports people through life changes, workplace stress, and questions about purpose or direction.

How online approaches and formats support change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs time to sort out priorities and feel heard before making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new actions for stress, anxiety, anger, or low motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That process is collaborative and revisited as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different situations. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and detailed skill work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
