About Daniel
Daniel Silverstein helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or depression. He introduces a calm, steady presence so people can talk through what matters most to them. Daniel makes a point of listening without judgment and treating clients as equals.
In sessions he focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. He uses tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive approaches, and mindfulness to help a person notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes.
How Daniel works
He also draws on motivational techniques to support shifts in habit and confidence. Daniel brings nine years as a licensed mental health counselor to his practice in New York. He describes himself as relaxed and positive, and that tone shapes how he meets people in session.
He aims to create an open space where worries and hopes can be named and examined. Beyond core concerns like anxiety and depression, Daniel has worked with a wide range of related issues. These include attachment and commitment struggles, blended family stress, body image questions, chronic illness and pain, substance use, and problems after separation or disaster.
He tailors methods to the problem at hand. Sessions are conversational and focused on usable changes. Daniel helps set clear goals, try experiments between sessions, and notice what is working.
He emphasizes steady progress rather than sudden fixes.

Online support options
How Daniel’s approaches translate to online care
Daniel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them, even when hard emotions are present. That work focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practice new behaviors that change daily routines. Mindfulness techniques help people build awareness of stress and respond with calmer choices rather than reacting automatically.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Daniel treats it as a team effort. He will discuss options, try methods in-session, and adjust plans based on what a person notices and prefers. Goals, pacing, and exercises are set together so therapy fits a person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or other commitments.
