About Daniel
Daniel Silverstein is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with nine years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and depression. Daniel approaches conversations directly and without judgment so people can speak honestly about what they are facing.
He focuses on practical talk and steady support rather than labels. Sessions tend to center on identifying what's most pressing, trying small changes, and noticing what does or doesn’t help. Daniel uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to reduce unhelpful patterns and build clearer choices.
Mindfulness and client-centered techniques are part of his work too. That means attention to how thoughts and feelings appear, and short exercises that help people pause and decide on next steps. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons to change or to stick with a plan.
Daniel also has experience with a wide range of related issues, including attachment and communication problems, body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, substance use, and relationship transitions such as divorce or blended family challenges. He brings a calm, relaxed manner to sessions and focuses on practical next steps rather than long theory talks.
People who want clear conversation, pragmatic tools, and a nonjudgmental clinician often find his style fitting. For those new to therapy, he explains methods plainly and helps set small, achievable goals.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Daniel often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, feeling stuck after school or work changes, and low motivation.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking patterns that increase stress or low mood. CBT involves practical exercises and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel discusses options with each person and adapts techniques based on their goals, preferences, and what they find helpful. This is a collaborative process where plans are revised if something does not fit.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also let someone join from a quieter place or pick a format that works better for attention or energy levels.
