About Dan
Dr. Dan Moen is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addictions, and grief. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, sleep disruption, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Moen focuses on practical strategies clients can use between sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize clear skills, step-by-step experiments, and straightforward behavioral changes.
He often helps clients untangle family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and commitment or control struggles. For people facing substance use or eating-related problems, he works on coping tools, relapse prevention thinking, and ways to rebuild routines. He also supports those dealing with fatherhood concerns and caregiver stress.
In therapy he aims for direct conversation about patterns that cause pain. That can include tracking automatic thoughts, testing assumptions in real life, and practicing new communication habits. Work may also focus on values-based goals and repairing attachment ruptures.
Clients can expect a collaborative stance and concrete homework between meetings. Dr. Moen draws from several evidence-informed methods and chooses techniques based on what the person needs and what they are willing to try. To begin, follow the practice's intake steps and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It uses short experiments and clear skill practice to reduce worry, low mood, or problems with sleep and routine. ACT emphasizes values and committed action - it helps people clarify what matters to them and build small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns learned over time and helps people practice new ways of connecting and communicating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, comfort with different techniques, and what has or has not helped in the past. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as new problems or priorities emerge. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let a person use video or audio to suit energy levels - for instance, phone or audio check-ins when bandwidth is limited or a quick call for a brief progress review. These practical choices help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the clinical focus.Areas of expertise
