About Shaji
Dr. Shaji Daniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and Malayalam.
He trained in counseling at the University of Cumberlands and holds a Master of Education in Professional Counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria. His background also includes study in theology and work as a pastor and counselor educator. That mix shapes a practical, discussion-based way of working.
Dr. Daniel describes his style as interactive and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He uses cognitive restructuring to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful thoughts. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to identify small steps that can bring faster relief.
In a typical session he helps a person name the immediate problem, test a thought or belief, and try a small behavior change between meetings. For anger this can mean spotting triggers, rehearsing a different response, and evaluating how it felt afterward. He frames these tasks as skill building rather than quick fixes.
He pays attention to cultural and spiritual background when a client brings those concerns up. He also works with immigration and communication problems that affect daily life. Before booking, confirm current session formats so practical arrangements match your needs.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Daniel commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the client's experience and priorities, helping the person speak and be heard without a rigid agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills such as cognitive restructuring and behavior experiments to reduce distress.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to set small, achievable goals and notice what changes first. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. He will discuss options with the client so they choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem they brought to therapy.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the original biography does not list specific online or in-person session types. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a job, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists trained in these approaches often adapt exercises for video or phone conversations and focus on concrete skills people can practice between meetings.
