Daniel Seitz, LCSW

Daniel Seitz is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. He focuses on practical strategies clients can use day to day. Daniel aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.

He uses clear, straightforward conversations to uncover patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that feed distress and learning new ways to respond. This approach is useful for panic, grief, mood shifts, and problems with substance or process-related addiction.

Daniel pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. He often addresses abandonment, attachment, and family of origin concerns while helping clients build healthier communication. Issues like codependency, guilt, shame, and forgiveness are explored with practical exercises and real-world steps.

People coping with life changes, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, or lingering trauma find a mix of short-term skills and longer-term work. Therapy can include strategies for emotion regulation, grounding when dissociation or panic occurs, and tools to manage cravings or compulsive behaviors.

Daniel welcomes direct conversations about goals and progress. He keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person, and adjusts pace to match readiness for change. His practice is based in Indiana and he conducts sessions in English.

CBT-based care delivered online and by phone

Daniel uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises, thought tracking, and behavior experiments that reduce anxiety, ease depressive moods, and help manage cravings related to addiction.

Sessions also look at attachment and family of origin patterns to understand how relationships shape current reactions. That work helps when people struggle with abandonment, codependency, or communication problems by linking past patterns to present choices and then practicing different responses.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Daniel discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time so therapy stays useful and relevant. The collaboration makes it easier to try short-term skills work or deeper exploration as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing homework. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
