About Daniel
Daniel Klinkert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and a Washington Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW with 20 years of clinical experience. He draws on his personal experience as a trauma survivor and a person in recovery from addiction to shape practical psychotherapy for adults. His work addresses stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and anger.
He has provided more than 10,000 hours of individual and group psychotherapy and spent 18 years practicing as a fully licensed therapist. He has also run a professional training company and carried out research into psychosocial rehabilitation models. That background informs a straightforward, skills-focused approach in sessions.
Daniel emphasizes client-centered therapy and uses a mix of methods depending on what someone needs. He commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, manage impulses, and try new responses to stress and anger.
In sessions he works to build a strong working relationship and then focuses on concrete steps people can use between appointments. That might include skills for handling strong emotions, coping strategies for cravings, communication practice, or ways to improve sleep and daily routine.
He works with a diverse range of adult concerns and helps people apply their existing strengths to current problems. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to review the available online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How his methods translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps prioritize what matters most. It is useful when someone wants a practical plan for handling anger or stress rather than a fixed protocol.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors when anger or cravings arise. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. Those techniques are often used for strong emotions, impulsive behavior, and relationship conflict.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying techniques in session and adjusting them based on what helps.
