About Daniel
Daniel Schroeder is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 12 years of experience. He focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship or family concerns. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them and start making changes that fit their life.
Daniel draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach
He also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the conversation grounded in the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools and elements of Emotionally-Focused work are added when they help with thinking patterns and emotional connection. In sessions he listens first, then helps people notice patterns and try practical steps.
This might involve experiment-style homework, clearer communication skills, or small behavior changes to improve sleep, eating, or daily routine. He pays attention to issues like attachment, abandonment, and blended family challenges when those come up. Daniel has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy struggles, parenting stress, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
He supports people dealing with substance use and related recovery issues without moral judgment. He also addresses body image, codependency, and anger when they affect relationships. People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach that adapts to their goals.
Daniel helps clients figure out what story they want next and what first steps will move them toward it.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Daniel uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice and rewrite the stories that shape their day-to-day choices. This approach helps when past labels or repeated patterns get in the way of moving forward. Client-Centered Therapy guides the relationship in session, keeping the client's priorities front and center while the conversation unfolds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes for things like sleep, eating, or anxiety.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Daniel will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That means sessions can include story work one week and practical CBT steps the next, adjusted to what feels useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when someone prefers typing over talking. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try new steps between meetings.
