About Daniel
Daniel Sorensen is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 17 years of practice. He works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, health, or identity. He lists stress, anxiety, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and LGBT concerns among his main areas of focus.
Daniel uses straightforward conversation to help people name what matters now. Sessions focus on immediate concerns like stress, communication problems, and adjusting after loss or change. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, commitment worries, chronic illness or pain, and fatherhood challenges.
His methods draw on client-centered and narrative approaches to identify personal values and practical next steps. He also uses mindfulness practices to manage anxiety and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. These techniques aim to make thinking and choices clearer rather than promise quick fixes.
In typical sessions, Daniel listens to a person’s story, highlights patterns that keep them stuck, and suggests small experiments to test new ways of coping. He pays attention to grief, moral injury, and the long-term strain that comes from caregiving or first responder work. He also helps people untangle family of origin issues and blended family dynamics.
Daniel accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts work in English. He practices in Washington as an LICSW and brings practical, experience-informed support for people ready to sort through what comes next.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and following their lead. In online sessions this can look like open conversation about values, priorities, and what feels blocked, with the therapist reflecting what he hears to sharpen focus.Existential work helps people face big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. Practically, it supports people coping with career shifts, illness, or major relationship changes by clarifying what they want next and what trade-offs are realistic.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices to manage anxiety and recurring worry. These are brief, usable exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide whether conversation, mindfulness exercises, or values-based goal work fits best for a person’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
