About Daniel
Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 10 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and other family-related concerns.
He uses straightforward conversation to map out immediate goals and next steps. Sessions focus on practical skills - communication, coping strategies, and problem solving. Daniel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Daniel began working in behavioral health with at-risk youth and families. Early roles included school-based services, designated instructional services, and residential mental health support where he taught life skills and cognitive strategies. That work shaped his interest in adoption and foster care, attachment, fatherhood issues, and blended family challenges.
He has also worked at community non-profits, providing individual, group, and family-focused supports for people dealing with depression, impulse-control concerns, substance issues, and interpersonal problems. Those settings exposed him to a broad range of backgrounds, including service with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
In sessions he combines client-centered conversation, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools. The aim is to set short-term, doable goals and then track progress. People who come to him for help with communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, or parenting strain can expect clear steps and homework when appropriate.
How sessions work
How Daniel uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify priorities and feel understood while deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes to reduce distress and improve coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to stress.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Early sessions are often spent agreeing on short-term goals and a few exercises to try between meetings.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting or work, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on progress. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can suit brief check-ins or days when a lighter session is needed. Ask about the available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
