About Daniel
Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 10 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, grief, and career concerns. Daniel emphasizes practical support for people facing change and relational strain.
He grew up in Southern California and studied psychology at California State University Fullerton. He completed a Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in trauma and Latinx studies at Pacific Oaks College. Early in his career he provided school-based services and worked with nonpublic schools and nonprofit agencies in the Pasadena area.
Daniel has also worked in residential settings serving at-risk youth, focusing on life skills and cognitive functioning. That background shaped his work with clients who face complex family situations, adoption and foster-care issues, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. He has experience supporting people dealing with codependency, infidelity, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues.
In practice he blends client-centered methods with approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. Sessions aim to set short- and long-term goals and use concrete strategies for stress, coping with life changes, and improving communication. He is comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds and notes experience with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
Daniel frames therapy as collaborative work to plan steps forward. People can expect direct conversation about goals, practical tools to manage symptoms, and follow-up on progress between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person’s experience and prioritizing their goals. It involves steady listening, asking questions that clarify what matters, and shaping sessions around the outcomes the client wants, which helps with relationship and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Simple breathing and awareness practices are used alongside talk work to help with trauma responses, anxiety, and ongoing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process can include trying different techniques and checking what actually helps over several sessions.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Therapists and licensed professionals use these options to help people keep therapy consistent alongside school, work, and family commitments.
