Daniel Echols, LPC

Daniel Echols is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 23 years of practice experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, grief, career questions, and life transitions. He also lists work with LGBT concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues.

Daniel takes a straightforward, person-centered approach in sessions. He listens, asks direct questions, and helps clients notice patterns that come from earlier family experiences. He uses clear, practical techniques from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and emotionally-focused methods to help people change what isn't working.

His background includes many years practicing with adults in Texas. Daniel describes a faith-informed perspective and welcomes clients who want spirituality included in sessions. He emphasizes exploring values and what matters to the client when setting goals.

Sessions typically focus on identifying repeating roles or expectations learned in childhood and how those patterns show up now. Daniel helps people name those patterns, try different responses, and practice new ways of communicating and relating. He balances discussion with concrete exercises clients can use between meetings.

People looking to address family of origin issues, attachment concerns, or problems with control and jealousy may find his style practical and direct. He frames work as collaboration: clarifying goals, testing small changes, and building skills that fit everyday life.
