About Daniel
Daniel Sorensen is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in Washington with 17 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. He works with LGBTQ people and others facing compassion fatigue and the strain of day-to-day pressures. Daniel aims to make therapy practical and reachable for someone juggling work, family, and health concerns.
He keeps sessions focused and straightforward. Conversations look at what matters most now and what stands in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
Daniel listens closely and helps clients name patterns, set small goals, and try different ways of coping between sessions. His background includes long-term clinical work and practice with people facing loss, identity questions, and shifts in relationships. That experience helps him support people dealing with bereavement, role changes like fatherhood, blended family stress, and the impact of chronic illness or pain.
Therapy draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, client-centered listening, and mindfulness skills for calming the body and mind. Narrative and motivational approaches are used to untangle stories people tell about themselves and to build motivation for change. Sessions include practical tools for communication, managing guilt and shame, and coping after separation or disasters.
Daniel aims to help people regain a sense of direction, repair connections, and find sustainable ways to manage anxiety and stress.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how people face life transitions. It can help when someone is questioning purpose, struggling with isolation, or coping with big changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting a person's own goals; it helps people feel heard and more able to try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to calm the body and notice thoughts without judgment, which is useful for managing anxiety and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs and preferences. That might mean blending existential conversations about values with hands-on mindfulness exercises and goal-focused steps to change everyday behavior.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what matches their schedule and comfort.
