About Daniel
Daniel Silverstein is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with nine years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, parenting questions, low self-esteem, and depression. Daniel speaks English and works with adults to look at patterns that keep them stuck and find clearer ways to cope.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can try between meetings. Daniel encourages honest reflection about family roles, expectations, and how childhood patterns still show up in adult life, including attachment and abandonment themes when they come up.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. He integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing shape how he listens and asks questions, aiming to help people find their own reasons to change. Mindfulness practices are offered for those who want tools to manage stress and increase present-moment awareness.
In sessions, Daniel keeps language plain and choices practical. He avoids jargon and works at the pace each person prefers. People who are worried that old family patterns still influence their relationships often find the work focused and goal-oriented.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. In online work this can look like setting short experiments between sessions and reviewing how those steps felt.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought that increase anxiety or low mood and tests new ways of responding. Online sessions often include brief exercises and homework to try new behaviors during the week.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and open questions so the therapist follows the client's lead. That approach shapes how sessions are paced and how goals are set together.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Daniel will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. The process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.
