Daniel Schroeder, LMHC

Daniel Schroeder is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He brings 12 years of clinical experience and uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and substance concerns.

He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with emotion-focused work and mindfulness. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and build skills that fit everyday life. Daniel creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can talk honestly about hard problems.

His experience includes working with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and a range of relationship and family issues. He also helps people struggling with sleep and eating issues, parenting challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, codependency, and fatherhood issues.

In sessions he uses straightforward techniques - noticing thought patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and learning simple mindfulness exercises. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when addressing relationship dynamics, tailoring tools to each person's goals. Work is collaborative and paced to the client's needs.

Daniel offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He works in English and holds a Washington LMHC credential. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How CBT and Emotion-Focused Work Translate Online

Daniel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; that often involves setting simple practice tasks between sessions and trying different responses to common stressors. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most and feel heard.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns and emotional bonding are central concerns; EFT helps people identify core emotions and reshape the ways they respond in close relationships. Daniel works collaboratively to choose which approach or combination fits each person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or continuing work between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into busy schedules, manage ongoing practice, and keep momentum between appointments.
