About Daniel

Daniel Lance is a California licensed psychologist who helps people managing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. His style is collaborative and respectful, and he aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

He uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to help people reduce symptoms and build skills. That can mean learning specific techniques to interrupt panic, testing new habits to see what helps, or setting focused goals and tracking progress. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with room for talking through feelings and real-life problem solving.

With 14 years of experience, he has supported people facing mood disorders, panic attacks, and ongoing anxiety. He emphasizes learning coping strategies that fit each person’s life and pace. He also pays attention to how self-esteem and identity shape everyday struggles and recovery.

Daniel approaches therapy as a partnership. He works with clients to identify small, manageable changes and then builds on early wins. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, using measurable steps and regular check-ins to adjust the plan when needed.

He practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they match personal needs.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Daniel commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in session. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build their own reasons to follow through.

He also draws on solution-focused therapy to set short-term, concrete goals and track small wins. That approach can be useful when someone wants fast, practical steps to manage anger or move through a life transition. Each method emphasizes active work between sessions, such as practicing skills or trying new strategies in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process with adjustments made as progress is seen.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy days, and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that better matches someone’s routine, or for longer sessions when more time is helpful.
