About Daniel
Daniel Klinkert is an LCSW, LICSW practicing in Oregon with 20 years of experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and related issues that affect daily functioning. Daniel draws on his lived experience as a trauma survivor and a person in recovery to inform his work with clients.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods and DBT skills to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions are practical and skills-focused when that fits the need. He also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support change and reduce distress.
Daniel has provided more than 10,000 hours of individual and group psychotherapy and spent 18 years as a fully licensed therapist. He has run a professional training company and taken part in research on psychosocial rehabilitation models. That background shapes a structured, experience-informed approach to common problems like addiction and trauma-related symptoms.
In sessions he aims to build a working relationship and work with clients on concrete goals. He often focuses on identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and sharpening coping skills. Practical homework and skill rehearsal are commonly used tools.
He works with concerns across a wide range, including self-esteem, grief, sleeping problems, parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. People should confirm current session options before booking.
How CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills translate to online care
Daniel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try practical alternatives. CBT sessions focus on skill practice, short experiments, and clear goals, which can be adapted to remote meetings.Client-centered approaches mean the therapist listens for each person’s priorities and adjusts the pace accordingly. That style supports collaborative planning about which skills or strategies to try next. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete coping tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that many people find useful for everyday stressors.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and recommend a course of action. That may mix CBT, client-centered techniques, DBT skills, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing based on what the client wants to accomplish.
