About Dan
Dan Meyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with four years of experience practicing in Texas. He works with adults and adolescents 12 and older on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. He also addresses related areas like substance use, fatherhood issues, and questions about life purpose.
Dan approaches therapy as a practical partnership rather than a series of lectures. He and the person talking together look at what is keeping problems going. They identify existing strengths and develop straightforward coping skills that can be used between sessions. Sessions aim to be concrete and focused on what changes are useful day to day.
His work draws on evidence-based techniques including cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He also uses Internal Family Systems concepts and somatic EMDR practices when relevant. These methods are applied to reduce distress, manage mood, and address trauma-related reactions.
Dan has experience supporting people through suicidal crises, severe depression, anxiety disorders, co-occurring substance use, and behavioral difficulties. That experience informs how he plans treatment and prioritizes safety and stabilization when needed. He emphasizes measurable steps and practical tools over abstract theories.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The first meetings focus on clarifying immediate concerns and setting manageable goals. Later sessions track progress and adjust strategies to fit changing needs.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Dan uses a few evidence-based techniques that translate to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to shift patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful when strong feelings or urges are present. Internal Family Systems addresses different parts of a person’s inner life, helping people understand conflicting motivations and reduce internal conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dan treats approach selection as collaborative. He reviews goals, discusses methods, and adjusts plans based on what is helping and what feels practical for the client.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Video sessions can support more interactive skill practice, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a brief check-in on a break. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit the format you choose, and Dan will help match methods to the way you prefer to meet.
