About Daniel
Daniel Lance helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, anger, or big life changes. He is a California psychologist with 14 years of experience. He focuses on clear, practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable.
He uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting.
How Daniel works
He also draws on solution-focused methods to build small, achievable changes that add up over time. Sessions aim to feel collaborative and goal-oriented rather than lecture-based. Daniel often starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of him and then maps out short-term goals.
He teaches coping skills for panic, mood swings, and low self-esteem, and practices strategies that can be used between sessions. The work is paced to match each person's needs and readiness. His background includes many years working with people experiencing mood disorders and panic attacks, and he brings that experience into each session.
He describes therapy as a joint problem-solving process where new habits are tested and adjusted. Practical homework and skills practice are common parts of the process. People who want clear steps, direct feedback, and tools to manage everyday emotional challenges often find his style helpful.
Daniel provides therapy in English and works with adults in California.

How Daniel’s Approaches Work Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then tries out small changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build commitment by exploring values and goals. Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on what is already working and on small next steps that move things forward quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try together. Sessions are collaborative, so approaches can be adjusted as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching and reminders. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
