Daniel Bierma, LMSW

Daniel Bierma is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with seven years working as a therapist in Michigan. He helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, attention difficulties, and life changes common in early adulthood.

He draws on decades of broader experience before moving into full-time therapy. That background includes work in schools, hospice, foster care, child protective services contexts, and organizational settings. Those roles shaped how he listens and responds to practical problems like behavior, parenting strain, and communication breakdowns.

In sessions he focuses on listening first and helping people clarify what they want to change. He tends to ask direct questions and reflect back what is happening so clients can see a path forward. He encourages people to identify a reason for starting therapy and to set concrete goals to work toward.

Daniel uses several approachable methods to guide the work, including Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods inform how he talks about patterns, feelings, and specific steps someone can take between sessions.

Clients can expect a practical, steady style that emphasizes problem solving and clearer communication. He welcomes people who are navigating early-adult challenges such as starting careers, shifting relationships, parenting responsibility, or coping with grief and loss.
