Dr. Lisa Daniel, LPC

Dr. Lisa Daniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience based in Texas. She helps people facing stress and anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, focused on practical steps rather than jargon. She aims to make early visits feel manageable and direct so people can start moving forward.

In sessions she listens first and then tailors the plan to each person. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help with worrying thoughts and avoidance. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she talks about relationship patterns and emotional needs.

Dr. Daniel also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions run high. That can mean practicing grounding, distress tolerance, or clearer communication skills. She frames these as tools people can use between visits to get relief and build stability.

Her background across many years includes work with people coping with addiction, bipolar disorder, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, chronic illness, and body image concerns. She aims for straightforward, doable strategies rather than one-size-fits-all recipes. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative style. She helps identify goals, tries out techniques, and adjusts plans based on what actually helps. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical skills that fit into everyday life.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, asks people to notice painful thoughts and still take steps toward what matters. It can help with persistent worry, avoidance, and goals that feel blocked. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress. It is often used for anxiety and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people improve trust and closeness in relationships.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods in real life, and adjust plans when something isn't helping. That partnership helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment work, or a mix will be most useful for the situation.

This profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so practicing new skills between sessions is simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like grounding, behavioral experiments, and emotion regulation skills to remote visits to keep progress moving forward.
