About Daniel
Daniel 'Dan' Sullivan is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with seven years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, career concerns, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. He also works with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and people facing workplace or midlife challenges.
Dan keeps sessions informal and direct. He encourages clear, practical conversation about what is getting in the way of daily functioning. He listens for unhelpful thoughts and habits, and helps people try different ways of responding that fit their life and schedule.
His approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often look at immediate problems, test small changes between meetings, and check what works in real life. Work can include identifying thinking patterns, practicing new behaviors, and setting short-term goals focused on measurable steps.
Daniel aims to make coaching and therapy feel straightforward. He helps people set targets for work, mood, and relationships and tracks progress in concrete ways. He also addresses communication problems, impulsivity, and issues commonly faced by young adults and men navigating career or life transitions.
Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling steps. The initial process typically involves a short matching questionnaire and selecting a first session time.
Practical approaches for online sessions
Daniel combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work with solution-focused methods to keep online sessions concrete and action oriented. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests specific behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and supporting a person's own goals and choices, helping them set priorities for change. Solution-focused methods concentrate on short-term goals and steps that can be tried between sessions to see what helps.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods make sense based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is tracked and real-world results are observed.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. They also make it simpler to practice skills in the settings where problems occur and to track homework between sessions.
