About Shaji
Dr. Shaji Daniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems, grief, self-esteem struggles, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses, and trying small, practical changes between sessions. He asks questions, listens to what matters to the client, and suggests exercises to practice outside of sessions.
Dr. Daniel draws on prior roles as a counselor, pastor, and counselor educator to inform his work. He recognizes how cultural and spiritual background can shape a person's concerns. He integrates those dimensions when clients say they are important to the problem or the solution.
In sessions he helps people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood. He uses cognitive restructuring to challenge those thoughts and solution-focused steps to build immediate coping options. He offers concrete communication strategies for relationship strain and skills to manage anger and sleep problems.
Practical steps are emphasized. Clients leave with exercises, short experiments, or communication scripts to try during the week. To begin, users choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How his approaches are used for online sessions
Dr. Daniel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Client-Centered methods prioritize the client's perspective and active listening to clarify goals and values. Solution-Focused work targets concrete, near-term steps to reduce problems and build small successes.Determining which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. Sessions can shift over time toward more CBT practice, more reflective listening, or more solution work depending on how the client responds.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, use screen-shared worksheets, or practice communication skills in real time without taking extra travel time.
