About Shaji
Dr. Shaji Daniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical, goal-oriented help for anxiety and related concerns. He uses clear, hands-on techniques to help people reduce worry, manage stress, and handle tough life changes.
He draws on client-centered work to build a respectful, listening environment. That starts with understanding what matters most to the person sitting across from him and shaping sessions around their priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative ways of thinking and acting. Solution-Focused Therapy is brought in when clients want short-term tools to get unstuck. Those sessions focus on small, concrete changes a person can try right away to see progress.
In practice this means setting short goals, testing them, and adjusting the plan together. Dr. Daniel has about 11 years of counseling experience across clinical and pastoral roles.
He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, sleep problems, relationship and communication difficulties, parenting strain, immigration issues, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam. His style is collaborative and straightforward.
He helps people notice thought patterns, try new behaviors, and measure what works. When starting, he and the client pick clear, manageable steps and review progress as therapy continues.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. Online sessions let the therapist and client spend time understanding priorities, values, and what the client wants to change, then shape sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Delivered online, CBT includes guided exercises, thought records, and homework that clients can use between sessions to track progress.Solution-Focused Therapy aims at finding small, practical changes that produce noticeable improvements quickly. In remote work this often looks like short goal-setting check-ins and experimenting with new strategies between appointments. Choosing an approach is a shared process; the therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on how the client responds and what feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and to send brief updates or reflections between appointments. These options offer flexibility and help people fit care into real life.
