About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Ringhoff is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 17 years of experience. He works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, parenting stress, relationship problems, grief, and trauma. He also helps with work stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and problems that follow separation or divorce.
He uses practical methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the core approaches he uses to break cycles of negative thinking and change behavior. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when they fit the problem.
Sessions focus on clear goals and specific skills. He encourages small experiments between sessions so people can try new ways of responding. Conversations include looking at patterns, testing assumptions, and practicing new coping strategies in day-to-day life.
His background includes extensive work with trauma and people affected by emotional or physical abuse. He has supported clients facing legal involvement, caregiver stress, and complex co-occurring problems such as mood disorders alongside substance use.
Language offered is English and practice is based in Florida. For people who prefer structured, skills-focused work, he offers a straightforward, practical approach aimed at producing observable changes in thinking and behavior.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through small, practical steps. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and difficulties like substance use by teaching strategies to test thoughts and build new routines. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-guided action; it supports people who want to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people recognize how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what is most useful. That makes sessions more focused and easier to apply between meetings.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Working this way supports practical skills training, homework exercises, and regular follow-up so clients can practice changes in everyday life.
