About Daniel
Daniel Christy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience. He helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressure, or career transitions. His tone is calm and straightforward, and he focuses on practical steps that people can use right away.
He keeps sessions relaxed and centered on the client's priorities. Daniel listens first and then helps people use clearer thinking, mindfulness, and skill practice to change what isn't working.
How Daniel works
Sessions often include goal-setting, coping strategies, and straightforward techniques people can try between meetings. His main tools include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. He draws from these methods to match approaches to each person's needs rather than using one fixed plan.
That means sessions can range from problem-solving and skill practice to deeper conversations about meaning and values. Daniel has worked for over two decades helping adults navigate life changes, addiction, grief, family problems, and compassion fatigue. He describes his style as approachable and practical, aiming to help people make steady, usable progress.
He understands that starting therapy is hard and tries to make the process as simple as possible. People who want clear tools, calm support, and a focus on everyday change often find his method useful. He offers appointments in Missouri and also accepts international clients for online work.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation so clients can set their own goals and make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for people who need a nonjudgmental place to talk through stress, grief, or life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is practical and task-oriented, which makes it easy to use in video or phone sessions for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills like emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills are often practiced during sessions and reinforced with short exercises between meetings to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive behavior.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is convenient for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection and coaching. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques effectively.
