About Daniel

Daniel Cardenas is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) licensed in Maryland and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, sleep problems, ADHD, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people facing career strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and life changes.

Daniel keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He talks through what is happening now, helps identify patterns that keep problems going, and practices concrete skills clients can use between meetings. He pays attention to how anger shows up at work, at home, and in close relationships so people can respond differently when they notice the first signs of irritation.

His approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, attachment issues, impulsivity, and communication problems. He helps clients tackle guilt, shame, isolation, and problems tied to immigration, first responder stress, or natural disasters by building small, usable strategies for coping.

Daniel works with people who want realistic changes rather than quick fixes. He will collaborate on a practical plan and adjust it as progress is tracked. Sessions include goal-setting, skill practice, and regular check-ins about what is and is not helping.

Sessions are conducted in English and Daniel practices from Maryland. If you want to schedule a first session, follow the site steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial meeting.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with clearer, calmer responses; this helps with daily anger flare-ups, anxiety, and low mood. Another approach focuses on developing emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills so people can notice early signs of agitation and choose a different response; this is useful for impulsivity, sleep problems, and relationship tensions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. Sessions include goal-setting, practicing skills together, and brief homework to test new habits between meetings so the work connects to everyday situations.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real-world settings and then discuss how they went at the next meeting.
