About Daniel
Daniel Silverstein is a New York LMHC with nine years of clinical experience. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression.
Daniel keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what is most pressing and works with each person to notice habits of thought and behavior that get in the way. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques to map out small, testable changes people can try between sessions.
He often focuses on clear problems like communication breakdowns, difficulty managing worry, and setbacks after major life changes. Daniel also has experience with issues such as abandonment, attachment questions, blended family stress, chronic illness and pain, substance and alcohol concerns, and divorce or separation. He describes his role as someone who talks things through without judgment and helps people try different ways of responding.
Sessions are practical and paced to the person's needs. Daniel encourages short experiments in daily life and checks in on what did or did not work. He aims to make the process concrete so people can see whether a new strategy is helpful.
People looking for a direct, problem-focused approach to mood, anxiety, or relationship stress may find his style useful. Daniel offers work that centers on clear goals, simple tracking, and steady skill practice.
How his approaches translate to online work
Daniel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts - thoughts, behaviors, and feelings - and helps people run small experiments to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing what matters to someone and building actions that move toward those values, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the person's priorities and lived experience, with the therapist following the client's lead and reflecting what matters most.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Daniel treats that as a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what is helpful and what is not. That means sessions can blend skill practice, values-based action, and straightforward problem-solving as needed.
The particulars of how online sessions are run should be confirmed before booking. If you plan to use remote sessions, check which session formats are available and choose whatever fits your routine. Many people find remote work easier to fit into a day, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time so skills can be applied sooner. Daniel aims to make sessions practical so they slot into everyday life and support steady progress.
