About Daniel
Daniel Romo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, parenting strains, and life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He speaks plain language and centers what matters most to each person.
He grew up in Southern California and studied psychology at California State University Fullerton. He earned a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in trauma and Latinx studies from Pacific Oaks College.
Background and approach
His work began in school-based settings and residential care for at-risk youth, where he taught life skills and supported cognitive and emotional growth. Over the past 10 years he has worked at non-profit agencies and in community wellness roles. That work included individual, group, and family sessions addressing depression, impulse control, anger, substance use, and interpersonal problems.
He has experience working with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. In sessions he uses a client-centered style and mixes methods to fit each person. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness techniques to calm the body, and solution-focused steps to make clear progress.
He listens first, then builds a plan together. Daniel aims to create a respectful space where goals are realistic and measurable. He helps people set short-term steps and longer-term plans to improve day-to-day functioning.
His approach emphasizes collaboration and attention to each person's background and needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist emphasizes empathy and understanding, helping people feel heard while they set goals that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches techniques to notice the body and mind in the present moment. Short breathing and attention practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful times.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, habits, and preferences, then try methods that fit best. Sessions adapt over time based on what helps most.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into breaks at work. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, homework feedback, and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy around daily life and to try different ways of meeting that suit individual routines and comfort.
