About Daniel
Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW, practicing in Michigan with seven years of professional experience. He focuses on issues common to early adulthood including stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. His work also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, workplace problems, and communication difficulties.
Dan keeps an informal, direct style in sessions. He prioritizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions look at what is getting in the way now and what small changes could make daily life easier.
He uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and solution-focused techniques. That means listening closely, helping clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and building simple, achievable goals. The focus is on what people want to change and how to get there in real life.
People who come to him often want help managing anxiety at work or school, building confidence, or finding direction after big life changes. He also supports people dealing with impulsivity, anger, and the effects of long-term stress. Conversations tend to be practical and paced to the client’s needs.

How Dan integrates approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical goals and quick steps that move daily life forward rather than extended analysis.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative discussion guides which methods to use and how to combine them so the sessions feel relevant and workable.
