About Daniel
Daniel Echols is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting strain, low self-esteem, grief, career questions, and life changes. He offers a steady, listening presence for someone who feels stuck or overwhelmed and wants practical direction and emotional relief. He uses a person-centered stance that starts with listening.
That means the session begins with what matters most to the client and moves at their pace.
Background and approach
Daniel also draws from acceptance and commitment work and existential ideas to help people notice what they value and take small steps toward those things. Sessions include straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and practical exercises tailored to everyday life. Clients may work on coping skills for anxiety, strategies for managing cravings, ways to rebuild self-worth, or clearer communication patterns.
Daniel often pairs talk with simple practices to try between sessions. His faith-informed outlook is open and nonjudgmental; spirituality can be part of the conversation when the client wants it. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client's priorities guide the plan.
Daniel brings 23 years of counseling experience and holds an LPC, licensed in Texas. He offers sessions that focus on realistic change, clearer relationships, and a stronger sense of purpose. If someone wants someone to listen and help them act on what matters, he aims to provide that support.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, values-driven actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life-direction struggles.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It is useful for people who want to understand trust, closeness, and communication problems in relationships and family interactions.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening and acceptance. Sessions aim to give space for clients to find their own insights and make choices that feel authentic.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use body language and tone; phone uses less bandwidth and can fit a break at work; chat and messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and keep momentum between meetings.
