About Daniel
Daniel Klinkert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and a Washington Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW practicing in Oregon with 20 years of experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma and related concerns. He also lists work with grief, parenting, sleep problems, career strain, and issues connected to family of origin.
He draws on long experience in individual and group psychotherapy. He has provided more than 10,000 hours of clinical work and spent many years running professional trainings and researching psychosocial rehabilitation. That background shapes a practical approach to day-to-day struggles.
Daniel takes a client-centered stance. Sessions are organized around what each person finds useful. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness work, and motivational interviewing when they fit with a client's goals.
In sessions he helps people notice patterns that began in the family they grew up in and how those patterns now affect relationships, boundaries, and self-worth. He talks through coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to manage cravings or mood swings without blaming anyone.
His experience includes work with substance use and process addictions alongside mood disorders and trauma-related issues. People who want practical skills for stress, emotional regulation, or rebuilding trust often find the mix of direct skill teaching and reflective conversation helpful.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s concerns, with the therapist listening and adjusting to what feels most useful. It supports people who want to talk through family patterns, relationship habits, or emotional blocks and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts. It’s used to develop concrete skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing cravings or unhelpful reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Those skills can help with intense moods, impulse control, and relationship conflicts. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That decision is revisited as progress is made. Confirm the available session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow people to join from a quieter setting without travel. These practical benefits often make it simpler to practice new skills consistently.Areas of expertise
