About Daniel
Dr. Daniel Wallace is an LCSW practicing in Illinois with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people facing relationship concerns, LGBT issues, family stress, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on workplace concerns and challenges common to young adults.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical sessions that look at thinking and behavior patterns. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness tools to help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear in shorter work on goals and next steps.
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts, test them in everyday life, and develop different ways of responding. He teaches concrete skills for communication, managing guilt and shame, and improving self-regard. Work on workplace stress and life-purpose questions often includes small experiments and problem-solving between meetings.
Daniel emphasizes clear, structured sessions with focused steps each week. He helps people set short-term goals and track progress over time. Rather than long theoretical talks, sessions tend to include skill practice and practical homework to try between meetings.
People who choose him can expect straightforward, skills-based work aimed at reducing distress and increasing effective coping. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling through the platform's matching process.
How his CBT and skills approaches work for online sessions
Dr. Wallace commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions often include defining specific problems, testing new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing what worked in clear steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be helpful when impulses or intense emotions interfere with daily life. Mindfulness Therapy adds brief attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. The first sessions typically focus on practical priorities and a small plan to try before the next meeting.
The practical upsides of online work include fitting sessions into a regular week and using shorter check-ins when that helps. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep appointments, follow through on between-session tasks, and work on communication or workplace issues without added travel time.
