Daniel Jansen

Daniel Jansen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon. He draws on eight years of professional experience to help people facing anger, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and stress. He speaks English for all sessions.

Daniel takes a straightforward, respectful approach. He treats the person in the room as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions he helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what makes a real difference for them.

He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused work to support day-to-day coping. That often means learning specific skills for managing strong emotions, reworking unhelpful thoughts, and setting achievable goals. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the reasons and energy for change.

Clients may bring concerns about anger, relationships, parenting, grief, trauma, sleep, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, or compassion fatigue. Daniel also addresses communication problems, fatherhood concerns, family of origin issues, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. He aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures.

Starting with a short conversation, he helps people set priorities and try what fits their life. The focus is on practical progress that can be measured week to week. Daniel encourages honest feedback so the work stays relevant and useful.

Approach-focused online support and skills practice

Daniel commonly combines client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the person's priorities and listens closely to their story to build change from what already works. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anger, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for strong emotions and interpersonal conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-focused plan for several weeks, then adjusting based on what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It also allows for shorter check-in sessions when schedules are tight and for practicing skills between sessions to see what helps most.
