About Daniel
Daniel Blanchette is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. He draws on two decades of work in counseling and behavioral health to support practical coping and clearer daily routines. He uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people name problems and try small changes.
Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as breathing exercises, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning.
Background and approach
Daniel keeps language plain and avoids clinical jargon so parents and busy adults can use ideas right away. Before working in counseling, Daniel spent time as a disc jockey and a special education teacher, and he served in the United States Army.
Those experiences shaped his interest in working with veterans, people who have faced trauma, and those living with chronic health challenges. He has also worked in primary care, inpatient settings, emergency departments, and on a national suicide prevention hotline. His day-to-day approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practice, and client-centered conversation.
Treatment is collaborative - Daniel helps people set goals and tests what works for them instead of forcing a single method. Daniel is based in Oregon and uses practical steps to address sleep problems, addiction concerns, relationship conflict, parenting stress, and mood symptoms. He aims to make therapy a useful part of everyday life rather than a separate, confusing task.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and difficult life changes by shifting focus toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches skills to challenge and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep difficulties, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and a nonjudgmental stance so people feel heard and can discover their own solutions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can try different techniques and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief coaching, check-ins between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week and keep progress moving forward.
