About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Wallace uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people make changes that last. He is an LCSW with seven years of clinical experience in Illinois.
He focuses on clear goals and small steps so progress feels doable. Many people come to him for relationship and family concerns, support with LGBT issues, or help after big life changes. He also works with people who want to build self-esteem, manage impulses, or find more meaning and direction.
How Daniel works
Work and young adult challenges are common topics in sessions. His style is straightforward and collaborative. He helps people break problems into parts, try new skills, and notice what works.
Sessions often focus on practical strategies for communication, managing guilt and shame, and building self-love. Dr. Wallace draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs.
He might use cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, or motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. He tailors techniques to each person rather than following a single method. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through hard things and plan next steps.
He guides problem solving and skill building while encouraging small experiments outside sessions. The aim is clearer choices and more confidence moving forward.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Wallace commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices when working with clients online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with low self-esteem, communication problems, and workplace stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video works well for face-to-face interaction and skills practice, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or homework support. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, school, or other commitments while continuing regular progress.
