About Dan
Dan treats a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, substance use and co-occurring conditions. He also supports people dealing with fatherhood issues, family of origin problems, men's issues, and veterans and armed forces struggles. He works with hearing impaired clients as well and addresses somatization and self-harm when they arise.
He approaches therapy as a partnership rather than a directive process. Together with each person he identifies strengths, sorts out what keeps problems going, and builds coping strategies that fit everyday life. Sessions focus on clear skills and concrete goals rather than jargon or long theories.
Dan uses several evidence-based techniques to shape treatment to each person. Examples from his practice include cognitive behavioral strategies, somatic work, and internal systems approaches when they fit the goals at hand. His practice reflects four years of clinical experience across Texas and New Mexico as a LPC and LPCC.
People who choose Dan can expect practical tools, steady support, and attention to real-world changes. He aims for sessions that leave people with clearer next steps and more confidence in handling what comes next.

How evidence-based techniques guide online care
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing self-harm behaviors. It uses step-by-step skill practice to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Internal Family Systems helps people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts influence feelings and behavior. This approach supports greater self-understanding and clearer internal communication when addressing trauma or relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adjust techniques based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. That choice is revisited over time as progress and circumstances change.
